Ectopic pregnancy

Posting here because it’s the biggest group and I need advice and reassurance.

I’m 36 and have a 17 month old daughter. I also have Endometriosis. No history of miscarriage or ectopic before now.

Today, I spent 8 hours at A&E to be told that my pregnancy was ectopic. I was then rushed into surgery to remove the fallopian tube, possibly the ovary and the embryo in the tube as they believed I was close to rupture due to the incredibly high HCG levels.

I’ve not seen the doctor yet as I didn’t get out of recovery until 9:45pm so I’m not sure whether they’ve taken my ovary too. I won’t know until the morning.

How do I make my recovery easier? What is a must buy or must do to help myself?

Anyone who has been through similar/has similar history, feel comfortable sharing their fertility journey after? We’re desperate to bring home a sibling for our daughter

Men sneezing

This has happened a few times now... Put baby down, husband does a huge sneeze, back at square 1. He says he can't help it, but most of us women aren't sneezing like bloody elephants. Do you think people are able to control the volume of their sneezing? Vote below!

Bleeding after sex TMI pic

I popped a post up last night about bleeding after sex (31+4). As I was happy with movements and it was late - I opted to stay at home overnight. I’ve not had any further bleeding - do I still need to call triage this morning?

I’ve had episodes of light pink spotting previously and been into triage but no sources have been found.

Question

Is it normal for lochia to basically stop and then come back pretty heavily ? I’m 2w post partum, c section 👩🏼‍🍼

Any June mamas due any day now? Feel free to message me if you're in a similar boat so we can be friends! 🤰💛

I know it's so common to go past your due date, but the waiting is making me so uneasy!

Last night I had a couple of really sharp pains, but they only happened twice and then disappeared. I've also been going to the loo loads, and the third time I genuinely felt like I wasn't going to make it in time, like there was so much pressure and everything was going to fall out! 😅 Once I relieved myself, I actually felt much better.

Has anyone else had anything similar this close to labour? Or just feeling really unsettled and like something is happening but not quite happening? Would love to hear your experiences!

Father's day?

Do you offer your child to your bd for father's day or just say Happy Father's Day and that's it? My bd hasn't brought it up so I assume he doesn't want to see our kid so I'll just text him and say happy father's day and that's that. Or should I ask him if he wants to spend time with our daughter?
