I've been feeling some unusual pains and I'm worried about a tubal pregnancy. What are the signs or symptoms that might indicate if I have an ectopic pregnancy?
Tubal pregnancy is very serious, so if you have any severe one-sided pelvic pain or spotty bleeding, please run to your doctor immediately. I always had my thyroid monitored, but early scans are what show the baby's exact position.
During early pregnancy, getting a transvaginal ultrasound done by your doctor is the only reliable way to know if the pregnancy is in the uterus. If you have severe cramping or bleeding, please contact your gynac immediately.
Google will make you believe every little gas pain is a tubal pregnancy, but honestly, only a quick scan at the clinic can clear the doubt. Just go see your gynac for a simple ultrasound and stop reading scary internet articles!
I cannot give any medical advice on this, but my friend had a tubal pregnancy and she had extreme sharp pain on one side of her lower stomach along with bleeding. If you feel any such severe discomfort, please consult your gynac right away.
Looking back, I realized we worry about so many rare complications! But since ectopic pregnancy is risky, please go for your early ultrasound scans. My doctor confirmed my baby's safe position in the first scan itself, and now he is a mischievous toddler.
I completely understand how scary it is to read about these things online and worry if everything is okay inside. Please don't panic, but do get an early dating scan done around 6-7 weeks as that is the only way to confirm correct implantation and ease your mind.
