This year Jake and myself have decided to take part in a 10k run for The Eptopic Pregnancy Trust. This charity holds a very special place in our hearts and has helped us so much.

The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust provides advice, additional support and counselling for women who have gone through this upsetting ordeal.

Please take a moment to read through mine and Jake’s story. Any donations would be greatly appreciated! ❤️

On the 28th August 2024 me and Jake found out we were expecting our first baby together - as expected it was full of nerves, uncertainty and then later on so much excitement. Me and Jake have always thought it would happen unexpectedly and it did after being together for nearly 3 years and due to me having endometriosis and pcos I never thought it would happen!

I ended having to go into the early pregnancy unit due to the pains I was having (I thought this was due to my endo and pcos). I had a scan and blood tests and the scan could not determine where our little bean was but the hospital put it down to “being too early” so wasn’t able to see on the scan. I was going in regularly for blood tests every 2 days to see if my hormone levels were rising as a normal pregnancy should and was reassured they was so the excitement on Jake and i’s behalf started to kick in.

On the 8th of September I had a horrible pain in my stomach that I could just not budge and then I started bleeding lightly (I thought it was normal as spotting in pregnancy was) but I went up the hospital anyways. They done blood tests and still told me everything was normally rising and I was booked in for a scan the following day. Morning of the 9th September I could not physically move, I was screaming and crying and Jake rushed me up the hospital for them to confirm it was an ectopic pregnancy and we was losing the baby. My heart was broken and I felt like it was all my fault, I did not know what to do with myself. After hours of waiting on a ward not knowing what was happening to be told so many different options we was told eventually we could not take the pill to pass the baby through the tube but that I needed to be rushed down to emergency surgery as my tube had burst and I was internally bleeding!

As you can understand, having endometriosis and pcos it’s even scarier trying to have a baby with one tube. I always sit there everyday knowing if I didn’t have an ectopic I’d still be pregnant now and the “what ifs”.. my heart breaks daily for my little bean.

Thank you for reading mine and Jake’s story ❤️
