An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilized egg grows outside of the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube. It never becomes a viable pregnancy, and can be fatal if untreated.
"I got to the doctor’s office and she said, ‘Yeah, you’re pregnant’ 'We can’t find the baby.' And I had no idea what an ectopic pregnancy was." Jenna had emergency surgery to remove her fallopian tube, an ordeal she said was"isolating."One 2020 study published in the"American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology" found that women who went through early miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies often have anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder.
"There are large numbers of women who suffer early pregnancy loss,” Dr. Priya Gopalan, associate professor of psychiatry and assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Pittsburgh , previously told."There is a grieving process that goes along with it and for some women that becomes pathological, it becomes PTSD-level."
"What this study really highlights is just the extent of how much the suffering goes on," she added."This is not just grief. It’s like grief plus."Elise Solé is a writer and editor who lives in Los Angeles and covers parenting for TODAY Parents.
