TW Heterotopic Pregnancy

windywoman · January 2018

Yesterday was a long day with a lot happening very quickly. I was having some cramping. At first I thought it might be gas and was going to ignore it. But after it hadn't gone away and got worse I started to freak out so I called OB and they fit me in for an ultrasound right away. Luckily the tech who did it was amazing and caught something near my right ovary. Turns out I had an intrauterine pregnancy and an ectopic pregnancy at the same time. Which apparently is pretty rare. I had emergency laparoscopic surgery to remove ectopic pregnancy. Thankfully Surgery went well and intrauterine baby is good. I am sad about the ectopic but I am so thankful that the baby in the uterus is OK.

I’m sorry - this is scary! Just FYI I know a woman who had a heterotopic pregnancy and the second baby did beautifully, is now a thriving 2 year-old! Hoping for the same outcome for you! Take care of yourself.

Wow, I'm so glad they caught it in time. I didn't even realize that could happen. I'm glad you and the other baby are doing well, and I'm very sorry about the ectopic one. Roller-coaster of emotions indeed.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that, but do thankful your intrauterine baby is safe.

I had no idea that could even happen. Glad your baby is okay, and I am sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but glad you and baby are doing well now! I too have had a heterotopic pregnancy. (They kept talking about how "rare" it was to see. It's always, I will say interesting, to "meet" someone else that has experienced it)

lalala2004 · January 2018

Scary stuff! I’m glad you got checked out and are OK. I’m sorry for your loss. I hope the rest of your pregnancy is boring.

vinerie · January 2018

Wow...what a rollercoaster of emotions. I am sorry for the loss of No. 2, but thankful that No. 1 seems fine. Take care of yourself.

windywoman · January 2018

Thank you everyone! I am hoping if others read about this they won't ignore pain or something else like I almost did.

dirtanddiamonds · January 2018

Oh wow. That is just incredible. I’m so sorry you dealt with that but what a blessing to have the medicinal knowledge to safely perform such an amazing procedure. It’s just humbling. I’m so sorry to hear of the ectopic. Praying for you. Quick and healthy recovery!
