Hey everyone, I'm afraid my journey has been a short one. I lost my little one on Friday due to an ectopic that nearly killed me
My bleeding stopped Thursday. So Friday I went to Matalan then MIL. After that about 6pm we got to Tesco to get something for tea and I got out the car and was hit with unbelievable pain. Legs went to jelly and I was instantly pouring with sweat so OH drove me home and got me into the house. He said I was pale. I told him to take me to hospital. Then I looked in the mirror and seen I was whiter than I've ever seen anyone, my lips were as white as my face so I told him to get me an ambulance. I got myself downstairs and the paramedic came in but I couldn't get myself back up to the flat. She was only in a car and I was begging her to take me hospital. My blood pressure was getting lower and lower and she managed to get an ambulance and they had to blue light me all the way as my blood pressure went to 50/30
I was not with it by this point and they couldn't get a line in my arm to give me fluids. They eventually got one in in the hospital but they have made a right mess of my arms and hands. They said I was too early for ectopic and it could have been my appendix. They scanned me and didn't see what it was. My stomach was expanding very quickly and I kept saying i felt like I was gonna pop. They got a consultant from his home and he scanned me and seen right away it was ectopic and it had ruptured my tube and all my blood had drained into my stomach. I literally didn't bleed out.
As I have the shape of a womb, 2 tubes and 2 ovaries but only half of the womb has formed to carry a child the pregnancy happened in the part of the womb I don't have which is so rare. That's why it ruptured earlier than an ectopic normally would.
They rushed me down to theatre and I'd lost 4 pints of blood into my tummy.
So what they hoped would be 30 min keyhole ended up being a 3 hour surgery and blood transfusion.
I got back home last night and I'm in absolute agony but counting my blessings and just glad to be alive and I have my beautiful little boy to keep me going.
Wishing you all the best 9 months! I won't be risking a natural pregnancy again but luckily I have my 2 embryos on ice from my ivf so I will be using one of them next year.
