Pregnant after a Loss

Eptopic Pregnancy & Morning Sickness Question

Hi All... I'm just wondering people's past experience and symptoms on their Eptopic Preg.

I had some cramping on my right side last night while I was laying in bed. I read cramping on one specific side may be a symptom.

My m/c was a missed m/c, so no bleed or cramping whatsoever...no symptoms. So, I really didn't know.

I am excited and positive still, I have never had morning sickness during either pregnancy and that worries me for some reason. I do get headaches though, tired, and tender breasts. Anyone else with no morning sickness?

 Thanks Ladies!

Re: Eptopic Pregnancy & Morning Sickness Question

  • Welcome and congrats! I've never had an eptopic, so I don't have any personal experience for you there. Has your doctor ran any betas? Sometimes depending on how they double, it can be an indication as to whether or not this pg is eptopic. I know it's hard, but try not to self dx. It will just drive you crazy! If you have a concern, you should call your doctor. That's what they're there for.

    How far along are you? I didn't start getting m/s with this pg until week 6 (I never had it with my others). I've read about other ladies who didn't get it until 7 or 8 weeks. Some ladies don't get it at all and have perfectly healthy pg. So, just because you don't have it yet, doesn't mean you won't get it. And just because you might not get it at all, doesn't mean you won't have a healthy pg.

    I hope you have a H&H 9 months!

  • All I can tell you is growing up my mom had an eptopic (OB missed the twin in her tube) and the pain intensifies. So if the pain gets worse call your OB or if you start spotting, otherwise it is probably normal cramping. Those first few weeks period like cramps are normal, then RLP kicks in. Good luck and if you are concerns call your OB.

  • Hi welcome! No experience personally with an ectopic pregnancy, but some women do have the concern and post here asking similar questions often and the answer is usually the same. Some cramping is very normal in early pregnancy. There are some big symptoms with ectopic pregnancies such as major pain, including back pain, bleeding, vomiting, etc.

    Don't be concerned about the lack of morning sickness, I had small waves of it with my last pregnancy, and with this one my first moment of morning sickness was around 8 or 9 weeks, and then went away for a few weeks, and then came back here and there. Lack of symptoms doesn't mean lack of a viable pregnancy.

    Congratulations!

  • I had an ectopic and the pain had me doubled over, i could barely move.  I also had a lot of bleeding, even before my tube ruptured.  If you're worried, tell your doctor but I have pain on my right side now and I don't even have a tube there so it might be nothing.  GL!

  • I am no help with an ectopic but I haven't had m/s with either of my losses or this pregnancy.  Just consider yourself extremely lucky when you read about all these poor ladies praying to the porcelain throne or those who aren't finding relief from Zofran. 
    I am so glad that you are excited about your BFP!!  It is really hard being PGAL but that's what this board is here for!  GL to you!

  • I have had pain on one side with each of my pregnancies (neither was or is ectopic). The first time it was on my right side and the dr. said it was probably a corpus luteum cyst.  This time the pain is on the left side and my ultrasounds confirmed that I have a large cyst on the left side.

    So pain on one side or another doesn't necessarily mean ectopic pregnancy.

  • I would bet what you are feeling on your side is the corpus luteum which could be forming a cyst. I had a 10 cm cyst w/ my DS and a 5 cm cyst this time around. I haven't felt it too much lately but w/ DS I felt it up to about 10 weeks.

    Keep in mind not everyone has m/s and sometimes it doesn't kick in till 6-7 weeks...
