Ectopic Pregnancy ?????

[suse]

Are these numbnuts aware that ectopic pregnancy is extremely serious? I can't believe that somebody actually laughed at you when you told them your concerns - personally, I'd be reporting them.

When I had my ectopic I didn't think that I could be pregnant, so I was the one who laughed when they suggested ectopic. I insisted that it couldn't be, but they would not let me leave the hospital until they had confirmed the pregnancy test and done an ultrasound - I was in surgery within an hour of having the ultrasound. Admittedly I had been in pain for a number of weeks and had got to a point where I almost collapsed at work, so I should have taken it more seriously than what I did, but even so, if they hadn't taken it extremely seriously I might not be here.

I'm not telling you this to scare you, but please don't let them dismiss your concerns; it's better to be proven wrong than proven right too late. If the pain rapidly and significantly worsens, call an ambulance or go straight to emergency.

I really hope that everything is OK for you hon - please let us know how you go.

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience Suse.

I told my husband about how serious this condition is and he knows I am a bit of a softie if the dr says I'm ok I'd be like sorry to waste your time but he will make sure we are 100% happy with what happens at the dr's before we leave. Whatever the dr says we are going to insist on a referral to an ob at the hospital as I won't be able to sleep until this is sorted out.
