Re: Twice
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy losses. To experience one loss is difficult, dealing with multiple losses is heartbreaking and my heart truly goes out to you.
When we experience ectopic pregnancy we are suddenly faced with a life threatening emergency and it's treatment, reduction in fertility, concerns about the future and the loss of our babies. Experiencing any one of these is an ordeal, putting them together is immense and your feelings are completely normal. For some, ectopic pregnancy loss can be a very traumatic event and we generally say it can take up to 3 months to even begin to process trauma so please be kind to yourself.
We at the Trust believe that talking through what happened and your emotions as and when you can helps the healing process. We operate a helpline service and Zoom meetings. There's no pressure whatsoever but if you would ever like the opportunity to speak to someone who has been through a similar experience, do feel free to contact us on the details below. We can take things at your pace entirely and you are free to ask any questions that are on your mind. You can talk about the ordeal you have been through and express your feelings to vent and let off some steam. We can exchange emails too, if you prefer that route. We'll simply be here for you, however you wish and for as long as you wish.
In addition, you can also perhaps look counselling, talking therapies can be extremely useful at difficult times.We have information on our website about finding counselling services and we have more information here: http://www.ectopic.org.uk/patients/emotional-impact/
Many women experience feelings of isolation after an ectopic pregnancy - I did, too. It is a frightening experience. Like you, I reached out to the Trust for support. These boards are a safe space to share, ask questions, or to vent. They are filled with people who have been through similar experiences and journeys, and we are here for you for as long as you need.
Sending much love and warm hugs,
