UPDATED I'll be joining you again, was eptopic this time
Hey ladies
I am currently I'm hospital recovering from emergency surgery this morning to remove the pregnancy that had developed in my ovary. So i've had to have the whole ovary removed.
Yesterday I had a lot of cramps but the pain seemed to be n my back passage so I thought was constipated. Then at 3am I woke with horrendous pains again thinking it was constipation. I eventually caved and went the hospital and thank god I did as I had massive internal bleeding and could have been a goner.
Still in shock at the moment and in a lot of pain from the surgery.
My warning signs were lack pregnancy symptoms despite thinking I was 7 weeks, and bad back ache which I thought was a kidney infection. Then as the pain felt like it was coming from my back passage into the front i just thought it was extreme cramps due to bad constipation.
Catch up soon when I'm a bit more with it

Mentally and emotionally I am doing ok so far but I do have the physical pain dominating at the moment. Yesterday was really quite scary but I can look back and laugh a bit now at me insisting to every doctor and nurse it was just constipation!! But when the scary times of me blacking out started to happen and I could see how worried my husband looked it began to hit home.
The seriousness of it and the fact I would have been very close to it being fatal with the amount of internal bleeding means I feel very relieved at the moment.
I didn't know it was in my ovary when I went down to surgery and the doctor who told me they removed thought I'd known so that was a panic and I did start crying then. But I've been assured it shouldn't affect our chances of getting pregnant again.
It really is too sore to cry so been looking very brave!

Sometime it makes me wonder - all these mc's and ectopics - our little trouble makers never quite make it into the world but if they're already casuing trouble in our uterus/tubes imagine how much trouble they might be on earth!
I am home now and still in a lot of pain. I've never had any surgery before and I am shocked at how crippled I am by it. I can't even get up off the chair unaided.
I have to say I got wonderful treatment whilst in the hospital I can not fault the doctors and nurses who dealt with me. However thinking back, the fact I was actually pregnant and had lost a baby was hardly mentioned. It was the gyn ward I was on and I know they are dealing with all sort of gyn issues but I am quite surprised at just how little they mentioned the pregnancy. I too have hardly thought about it, just been so in shock at how long I left things and how much pain I've been in.
It's only now that I'm thinking of it, but I'm still feeling detached from the pregnancy. I am sure when the physical pains start easing the emotions will kick in.
It does seem very unfair. We are good people who want nothing more than to become parents. My poor husband, it cuts me up more to think of what he has witnessed through the mmc and now this. He is amazing.
Thanks again ladies xxx
Glad to hear you're home, and starting your recovery - it was major surgery, so you will take a while to recover physically, as well as emotionally.
At least you have a lovely husband, and you can help each other through this awful time.
Thinking of you,
