In this episode, I sit down with Shayma, who shares her story of an ectopic pregnancy that was missed during multiple ultrasounds. Shayma had already experienced a miscarriage the year before and was cautiously hopeful when she found out she was pregnant again in March 2025. Early scans showed a gestational sac, a fetus, and even a heartbeat. Everything appeared to be progressing normally. Then two days later, she was rushed to the hospital with severe abdominal pain and diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy, something her medical team had not detected in any of the earlier appointments. Shayma underwent emergency surgery to remove the pregnancy and her right fallopian tube. During the procedure, doctors also discovered endometriosis, which she had never been diagnosed with before. She opens up about the confusion and frustration of asking her providers how this was missed and not getting a clear answer. She shares the emotional weight of losing a pregnancy she believed was healthy, the fear of trying again with one tube, and the self-blame she had to fight through in the weeks that followed. We also talk about the importance of advocating for yourself in medical settings, why requesting bloodwork and HCG monitoring matters more than many women realize, and how relationships and friendships can shift after pregnancy loss. Thank you for your bravery, Shayma!❤️ If you're finding yourself experiencing an ectopic pregnancy or trying to conceive following an ectopic pregnancy, consider joining my online and exclusive chat! 🔗: https://www.ectopicpregnancysupport.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ectopicpregnancysupport/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ectopicpregnancysupport

Selina emphasized the therapeutic value of sharing the story to address the loss of innocence surrounding pregnancy and to encourage others to take time to grieve and seek support.

Sandra experienced two ectopic pregnancies. Her first was during the COVID-19 pandemic. She details what it was like to have emergency surgery alone at the hospital because her husband wasn't allowed to be with her. Sandra's second was shortly after her first and was treated with methotrexate. While both of her experiences happened nearly five years ago, it still brings tears to her eyes - A feeling I can completely relate to. Thank you for being brave, Sandra!❤️ Here is a link to the baby loss book she mentions: https://ow.ly/ijyb50Wx5W2 If you're finding yourself experiencing an ectopic pregnancy or trying to conceive following an ectopic pregnancy, consider joining my online and exclusive chat! 🔗: https://www.ectopicpregnancysupport.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ectopicpregnancysupport/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ectopicpregnancysupport

World Health Day (today) is kicking off a year-long campaign on maternal and newborn health titled, “Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures.” It urges governments and the health community to ramp up efforts to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths, and to prioritize women’s longer-term health and well-being. 80% of maternal deaths are preventable. I was invited to be on my friend's podcast, Instigating Women + Friends, to discuss ectopic pregnancy and the importance of this campaign. I share in my intro that the primary recording is from her podcast. An ectopic pregnancy is life-threatening and happens when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus. Enjoy our real and honest conversation. Thank you, World Health Organization, for choosing this topic for this year's campaign. I urge everyone to share their stories - as long as you're comfortable.❤️ If you're finding yourself experiencing an ectopic pregnancy or trying to conceive following an ectopic pregnancy, consider joining my online and exclusive chat! 🔗: https://www.ectopicpregnancysupport.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ectopicpregnancysupport/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ectopicpregnancysupport

Sydney's been through a lot in the last few years. She first experienced a missed miscarriage late in her first trimester in 2021, and she needed a D&C. Shortly after, she conceived her rainbow baby, who spent 7 weeks in the NICU after birth. Nearly three years later and only one month ago, she suffered a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and needed surgery. Thanks for being brave and courageous to share your story, Sydney!❤️ If you're finding yourself experiencing an ectopic pregnancy or trying to conceive following an ectopic pregnancy, consider joining my online and exclusive chat! 🔗: https://www.ectopicpregnancysupport.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ectopicpregnancysupport/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ectopicpregnancysupport
