I had my first appointment on Tuesday. We were so excited. We suffered a chemical pregnancy in November, and I had been feeling great during the first 7 weeks of this pregnancy. I had pregnancy symptoms but was overall functional. I didn’t have any pain, bleeding, or any sense that I was having an ectopic pregnancy, or even that anything was wrong in the first place. I was so confident going into this appointment only to leave with the world crushing beneath our feet.
We found out the egg had implanted outside of my uterus. I’m still trying to make sense of it because it genuinely doesn’t make sense to me. I’m healthy, in shape, have normal/regular periods, why did this happen? Is it just a string of bad luck? Am I not meant to have kids? I just feel so worthless that my body isn’t doing what it’s designed to do. I’d love to hear encouraging stories of people who have had multiple miscarriages and have gone on to have healthy pregnancies. Other than that, I just want to feel less isolated.
