Pregnancy was ectopic :(

I was just over 6 weeks and started getting sharp pains on one side—I googled what it could be but I did not meet any of the risk factors for ectopic so I thought it was just gas. Overnight pain got much worse and I kept getting up in the night and getting bad dizzy spells.

At 6:30 am I walked around again and fainted—ok maybe time to go to the hospital!

pregnancy was ectopic-stuck in the right Fallopian tube and ruptured which caused internal bleeding pretty significantly. Was admitted right away and explained I might need a blood transfusion and my tube may need to be removed.

Tube was removed but the left one is still intact so shouldn’t affect future ability to conceive. Although I’m definitely not eager to start trying again right away!!

Ladies if you feel like something is wrong, don’t be afraid to get checked out. I thought going to the ER to find out I had bad gas would have been embarrassing but not going ended up being much worse!

Just wanted to share my experience in case it helps anyone else. My surgery went very well and recovery is alright so far. Wishing good vibes and baby dust to everyone else!
