Just had Ectopic pregnancy
Sorry just need to write this down.
On sunday i was 7 weeks pregnant with baby number 3,i went to the loo and had some pink blood so put a pad on and went to bed worrying woke up monday went to loo had had brown blood overnight went back to bed until i could ring the docs and as soon as i lay back down the pain started my whole stomach was killing me,so rang docs once they opened got an appointment i didnt know how i would move to get dressed to get there but i did it and as oh was taking dd1 to pre-school i drove to the docs she felt my stomach rang the hospital booked me in at a&e gave me a letter asked me how i got to the doctors so said i had driven as its less than 5 min up the road she looked very worried and said get someone to take you to the hospital i said my oh would so drove back home.
Oh drove me to a&e even with my letter i still had to wait half hour before i got seen they took blood felt my stomach wanted a wee sample off me as i walked to the loo i nearly fainted they got me back to the bed and did my blood pressure and it was so low they put up fluids asap.I was then wheeled in the bed to the scan room as they didnt want me to faint walking there had my scan the pressure from the machine was so painful i was in tears anyway i asked and she told me my left ovary and tube were fine my womb was full of fluid and my other ovary and tube were swollen like it was trying to get rid of something
Got wheeled back to a&e and everything happened really quick then and before i knew it i was being wheeled to theatre which i was terrified of.
I woke and had a pain thing given to me to push everytime i felt pain which i pushed all night!
The following morning the consultant came and gave me the bad news that they had taken my right tube as it had burst and the fluid in my womb was 800ml of blood she couldnt believe i had been up and walking about and even driving while in pain and i couldnt try for another until september earliest not that i want to right now i need to get over this first and grieve i keep bursting into tears

how are you feeling today?
i had a miscarriage confirmed yesterday but the worst of it happened over tues / weds. luckily for me, it seems like my body has dealt with it, hopefully avoiding surgery. because i had an empty sac, they warned me i might have a silent ectopic (my tubes are clear) and emphasised how i had to act quickly if i have any pain. i have found it a very frightening time. i still need to do a pregnancy test at the end of the month just to make sure there is nothing lurking.
i am feeling a bit better today and my toddler is helping take my mind off it all.
hope you are getting lots of love and support.
my heart goes out to you.

i didnt really get that much info from the hospital about this all i really know is the baby must have died when the tube burst
Take care
