Test is positive but I keep reading scary stuff about ectopic and now im a little anxious. What signs should I actually watch for? Want to know when to rush to the doc.
Don't let Google scare you to death! But seriously, an early ultrasound is the only sure way to check. If you have sharp pain, skip the internet and head straight to your doctor.
After my positive test, my gynac scheduled an early scan at 7 weeks to confirm the pregnancy location. If you have intense pain or bleeding, please contact your hospital immediately as it needs urgent care.
I know how worrying this is, dear. Ectopic pregnancy is usually detected during the first scan around 6-8 weeks, but if you have severe one-sided pain or bleeding, please go to the doctor immediately.
I’ve been reading up on this because we are planning. Apparently, symptoms like severe pain on one side of the pelvis, shoulder pain, or spotting are major warning signs. It's always best to check with a gynac right away.
The simplest way to be sure is to get your early dating scan done around the 6th or 7th week. If you experience severe lower belly pain or spotting before that, go to your hospital's emergency room.
My mother always insisted on getting the first ultrasound done early to make sure the baby is in the right place. Please consult your doctor for a scan, and go to the clinic immediately if you feel sharp pain.
