Ectopic pregnancy almost took my life! ….crazy part is that it wasn’t the regular ectopic pregnancy where the baby is in the fallopian tube . My baby was directly in my stomach and carried it for almost 12 weeks.
I was stooling and throwing up for 2days but I didn’t understand till I passed out on the 3rd. I was rushed to the hospital and they said my PCV was 15% . After 2 pints of blood , it got up and 2 days later , it was 19% again.
The mumu hospital people didn’t do scan or anything . I was just taking injections and drugs and I didn’t walk for 6 days. They eventually referred me to a hematologist in another hospital thinking it was a blood clotting problem or something.
Getting there , the first thing they did was wheel me to a scan room ( I couldn’t stand or walk)… The lab guy couldn’t believe what he was seeing - Baby inside the stomach directly ke??? . Called the gynae immediately and that one too was shocked . The nurses said they had only read about abdominal ectopic but never saw it.
They prepped me for surgery immediately and I heard the gynae telling the surgeon that there was a baby in my stomach and she was like “are you sure you guys saw it well?”. Lool .
Apparently, the reason my blood levels kept dropping was because I’d been bleeding internally due to the baby in my stomach( we didn’t know this till the surgery was being carried out). If you see blood that came out from my stomach!!!!!! ….That I’m alive today is just God ooo! The nurses just kept telling me , “madam thank your God”.
Pregnancy be like death sentence bruhhhh! Make nobody gaslight me!!!!!
The first time I heard a lady was pregnant and the baby is not inside the womb but outside the womb, I was shocked, confused, and didn’t believe it. I thought she was trying to collect outrageous amount of money from the guy for termination until I spoke with my Doctor friend who now explained it to me.
I felt bad, pity, and scared for her.
