ectopic pregnancy

edited August 2011 in Second pregnancy
My second pregnancy (feb17th-march12th,2010) was ectopic :( it ruptured when I was 8 weeks along I had to have emergency surgery to remove the baby and my tube. I had lots of internal bleeding but thank God the ambulance gotme to the hospital in time. My husband and I were very sad that we lost a child, his first my second. We didn't try again until after we got married in october 11, 2010. We thought for sure it wasn't going to be easy since I only have 1 tube. We concieved in the end of November and found out december 12th! I am now almost 37 weeks pregnant with a healthy bay girl. Our miracle baby :).. just wanted to share my story to give other that have had or may possibly have an ectopic pregnancy, HOPE! You can get pregnant again and with a healthy baby.
Id love to hear anyones story :)

  • I'm sorry u lost a baby but soo happy u are carrying again. My sil had 3 ectopics she almost gave up but went ahead and removed both tubes, had ivf and now has 6month old twins. :)
  • I had an ectopic pregnancy in March 2009. I didn't know I was pregnant until I was in the ER. Had to have surgery as well. Dr tried to repair my tube, but I found out a year later that it closed up (scar tissue). Took 2 years after ectopic to concieve this baby. I'm now 25+3 with a baby girl.
  • Had an etopic bout 5-6 years ago i was 7 an half wks I had surgery an my tube was saved I have a 3 year old an 13 month old an 27 wks prego so yes there's definantly hope !! :)
  • @oregonmama I'm sorry for your loss, and congratulations on your healthy baby boy! isn't it great! These babies are sooo wanted :) crazy how you got your positive a day before her dd but you have a happy memory of that day now as well!

    @hopefulmom2be sorry for your loss but I'm very happy you're having a baby girl now :) so awesome.. so you still have the tube just basically doesn't work?

    I wish all you ladies a happy (lol) healthy pregnancy! Even if it may seem its terrible and we want it to end its all worth it for our miracle babies :)
  • Don't worry there's plenty of hope ! Lol I get scared everytime I get prego but no more etopics thank god! I got prego wen my youngest was 7 months :( so not planned but o well :)
  • @oregonmama awww that's sweet! We tell my 5yr old that we wished for his baby sister and he said "well next time I wish for a boy" apparently we didn't wish right sincewe got a girl lol
    @mrz_jackson2anpreggo lol.. I don't care if mine are planned I just want them healthy and here :) you got sooo lucky, ima be scared of an ectopic each time too :\
  • I really did I no very lucky lol I seen on that show I didn't no I was pregnant that after etopic u have 1 in 10,000% chance of having a baby Dk if its sure or not but i was like Omg I must be an exception lol but I'm sooo thankful !
  • My mom had an etopic preg in 1980. She had 2 boys and the dr told her if she git preg again it would kill her so they tied her remaining tube. In early 1983 she got sick and kept telling her dr she was preggo. He told her impossible and started running tests with dyes and xrays. After ruling out everything else they did a preg test. October 28, 1983 I was born on my due date perfectly healthy!
  • @eaparker wow!! That's amazing!! I love hearing stories like this :)
    @mrz_jackson2anpreggo I'm pretty sure its right bc it cuts your chances in half
  • Wow its so scary . But my Dr that did it sed my tube looked really good so ima jus hope an pray it never happens to me again . I'm sure Ull have the other 2 or more that u want just fine !! :)
  • That was 27 years ago, and technology has come so far since then. So if it can happen for mom it can happen for anyone. She kept trying to tell the Dr that she knew she was preggo and it was her little girl. She wanted a daughter so bad and my second brother was supposed to be a girl and when he came out mom refused to name him!!! lol The day they were supposed to leave the hospital they told her she had to name him or they couldnt leave. She was watching a soap on tv and the girl just had a baby and named him Kevin therefore my dear brothers name is Kevin!!! lol
  • @eaparker that is too funny!! Lol
  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • @lily_glz yes, I still have the tube, but it has completely closed up. After a year of trying (after the ectopic) and not getting pregnat I had to have a hysterosalpingogram and the fluid would not flow through that tube.
  • I had one long time ago (I was in college). I got to hospital in time and just got a shot(to terminate tubal pregnancy) I was in terrible pain and was bleeding. All is well now. I have 2 and 3rd on way me and my bd have been through soo much!! OMG
  • @mommyof3tobe congrats on all your babies after an ectopic! That makes me so happy! Hopefully I can have 2 more after my baby girl :) even if I can't I'm glad God blessed me with her and my first (before ectopic)
  • Aww ur welcome! ! Im Glad u were blessed as well! They are truly blessing! They change ur life for the better in so many ways!!
  • I had a miscarriage may 98 then an ectopic Dec 98 I had a tube removed as well and was told I may never or actually would more than likely never carry a viable child to term. To prevent the emotional pain of all of this again I got on BC for 4+ Yrs. When I stopped taking it I was told I gad decreased my chances of having a child even more so. Well I got pregnant that same month. NY first baby girl just turned 7, I have a 3 yr old daughter, and Im 34 6/7 wks pregnant with my first son. Oh by the way I also have mild pcos.

    Ladies ANYTHING is possible, its all in God's hands
  • Yes so true @soon2b3 couldn't have said it better myself! We are all so blessed
