I'm 21 weeks pregnant today and I've had a roller-coaster week. On Tuesday afternoon I was hospitalised with terrible abdominal pain in my right hand groin/side (a bit like period pain at the start but within two hours I was doubled up at work with an ambulance en route). First thoughts from the NHS and me were labour but thankfully, it wasn't. Next up, investigating what it was, this took forever and we only found out yesterday afternoon that the reason for the pain was a twisted ovary brought on by the growth of the uterus (no cyst present). I've been operated on today and they had to remove the ovary because it had twisted round itself five times...! Fair to say I've experienced the worst pain I've ever had but thankful to say that the baby's heartbeat is strong and there were no complications. So, here I lay in hospital, recovering and if nothing goes wrong I should be home tomorrow. Super scary but I'm on cloud 9 that everything is okay. I wanted to share this so you can see there can be positive outcomes following intense surgery when pregnant and that pregancy can cause a twisted ovary (much to some of the doctors surprise may I add!). Massive thanks to the NHS for being so kind, supportive and amazing 🙏🏼
