How the early signs of ectopic pregnancy were missed and almost cost me my life. ectopicpregnancy infertilityawareness
ByFor almost a year I artfully dodged questions like “So, when are you going to have another baby?” while trying, unsuccessfully, to have another baby. Eventually, as we were coming to terms with the idea that we may never have a second child, I became pregnant.came in waves, much like it did with my firstborn. It brought with it reassurances that the pregnancy was developing as it should.Around the nine-week mark, I noticed that my morning sickness symptoms were becoming less bothersome.
Days turned into weeks, and my HCG levels continued to rise, albeit abnormally slowly. My family doctor and I were baffled. Eventually, he referred me to the Early Pregnancy Clinic at the hospital to be examined by a team of specialists. My husband called our parents to tell them about the loss of a pregnancy they hadn’t known about in the first place.
The next few weeks were a balancing act of being strong and present for my toddler and mourning the loss of my pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy, I learned, can never become a viable pregnancy. I struggled to understand how I could miss something I never really had in the first place.At the time, simply seeing pregnant women and healthy babies was triggering. I felt petty for being resentful of others, especially since I already had one wonderful, healthy child.
After many muffin-binging anniversaries had passed, I started to process my pregnancy loss with a clearer head. I reflected on how my own silence was perpetuating the exact culture that I fell victim to. I began to feel an overwhelming sense of responsibility to talk about my experience, and in turn, I found that other women began to share their experiences with me.
