my elder sister had an ectopic last year and now that im planning, im honestly a bit scared. does it run in family or not? matlab should I be extra careful because of her history?
I am also planning my pregnancy right now and had this exact same doubt! Is it true that if a close relative had it, the risk is higher? If anyone knows, please share.
Hey dear, I have seen many moms here worry about this. Ectopic pregnancy is generally not genetic; it mostly happens due to pelvic infections, smoking, or tube issues. Don't stress too much, your next pregnancy can be completely normal!
Mere ghar pe toh mummy and saasji bolte hain ki family history se sab kuch hota hai, but actually ectopic pregnancy is mostly due to blockages or shape of tubes. It's not really genetic, so don't blame yourself or family history.
Oh God, I also used to search this day and night when I was trying, thinking what if my family history affects my baby. But honestly, most doctors say it's just a one-off physical issue in the tubes. Try to breathe and don't let Google scare you like it did to me!
Arre nahi, genetic nahi hoti hai ye bilkul. Haan, kabhi kabhi tubes mein blockage ki wajah se ho jata hai par iska matlab ye nahi ki agli baar bhi hoga. Aap bilkul chinta mat karo, sab thik hoga.
I completely understand how stressful it is to think about these risks. Ectopic is generally not a genetic condition, but because our bodies go through so much, it's always safer to talk to a fertility specialist or your doctor to reassure yourself.
From what I have read, ectopic pregnancy isn't directly genetic. It's usually caused by structural issues in the fallopian tubes or inflammation. Still, it's best to consult your gynac to understand your personal risk factors clearly.
