Sitting in the doctor’s office, I squeezed my husband Chris’ hand. ‘You’re having an ectopic pregnancy,’ the doctor said.
Devastated, I burst into helpless tears. I was 29, and we’d been trying for a baby for years.
Now, after finally falling pregnant for the first time, the baby was growing in one of my fallopian tubes rather than the womb.
If left untreated, an ectopic can cause major internal bleeding and even death. We had no choice but to have my tubes removed.
Losing the pregnancy was heartbreaking.
