Re: “Ectopic”
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss,
You are not alone in feeling this way, we hear from many people (and I include myself in this) who say they feel their ectopic pregnancy and treatment was very medicalised and there was little reference to their baby loss. I am so sorry you are going through this. As a charity, the Trust are trying really hard to educate healthcare professionals not only on the early signs and symptoms for early diagnosis I ectopic pregnancy but also around language used and ensuring staff recognise the fact their patient has just experienced a life threatening emergency and it's treatment AND the loss of their baby. I truly hope we will make a change for the future.
For now, know that you are among friends here who understand and will support you through this journey.
Sending much love and warm hugs,
