Tell me about your unplanned pregnancy.

Sending out a wish for a quick and complete recovery!

Only just caught this thread - phew, what a rollercoaster you’ve been through! I’m glad it was caught in time and that you are okay, but sorry you’ve had to endure it at all.

Hope you can rest up and get the support you need (emotional and practical). Take care of yourself. We’re here to moan to if you need it.

Oh my god. I’m so glad they caught it before it got even more serious! Best wishes for a quick recovery.

me too.

Thank you so much for all your well-wishes. I’m ok. Well, not really ok, but I’m healing. At least I haven’t had percocet today. Mentally I’m just numb.

Best wishes for a quick recovery, overly.

I think a measure of how much of a rollercoaster this is is that all your posts have been… scarily brief. May your verbosity come back soon.

So glad to hear that you are OK, even if you are not feeling it right now. Thinking of you.

Best wishes, sweetheart. Be well soon.

(“… rube” ??)

I meant tube - the surgery & related drugs gave me trouble focusing. I don’t know why I was posting at the time.

Ditto. Glad they caught it before it got worse!

Uh, cuz you wanted a sympathetic collective ear, and knew we were all (digitally) here for you? :wink:

May your recovery be swift and your healing complete.

Dear OV:

My best on your recovery. In case you are still interested in the original direction of your thread, or need to be lulled to sleep, I’ll submit:
Wow.
Here is one thread I’d have never guessed I’d respond to. And I don’t usually start sentences with “and” and end them with a preposition.

It was winter '88, during foreplay on a friend’s livingroom floor, when my GF informed me she was late, I can’t remember if it was Christmas- or New Year’s-Sex that had done it, but we made plans not to say much to anyone and “have it taken care of”.

About 2 days before said “procedure”, a girl spiltthefuckingbeans to her mother, whom called my GF’s mother, and so on and so on.

I was actually awaken by my screaming mother. ( I was living at home commuting to college,)The shit was like an f-in’ drill sergeant outta nowhere. I fessed up to the plans, (She was 18, I was 19, totally legal, totally our decision.) but none of that mattered. I was Satan at that point.

Soon her parents arrived with her in tow, and we sat down in the living room. At this point, her mother(Bible “enthusiast”) starts to tear me apart, “Mortal Sinner” were the words she used. And this was BEFORE said procedure had taken place. She went on and on…

There was a total lack of support, any support, by any of our parents. Except for my old man who did say, “get things verified” and the decision was up to us.

A couple days later we drove to the place, through the protesters, and the procedure went through. Then we went to Pizza Hut.

I think about that shit, more often than I care to admit. If we would have made another decision, maybe this, maybe that…I know full-term-adoption would have been such a daily Biblical-Hell-Scorn, on my GF, from her mother that she’d have probably miscarried at home.

Who knows.

So now it’s my early 40’s and I am alone. All the cool shit, knowledge, tricks, traits, stories and memories that are mine, will vanish.

If a child is a “Gift from God” why do the Bible-Thumpers hate unwed mothers?

Anyway that’s my unexpected pregnancy story.

Word. Hope you feel better.

Good Lord! The SK is in his early 40’s???

Overlyverbose I didn’t post before but feel compelled to now, after reading your update.

My unexpected third ended in an emergency hospitalization and loss of my left tube and ovary from a ectopic. I know exactly where you are at. I went to the hospital thinking it was a miscarriage, based on the bleeding but I knew it wasn’t usual, becuase the pain was different from my other losses. They parked me in the hall for a couple of hours because they didn’t think it was urgent but I was in surgery 25 min after the ultrasound they finally gave me.

Afterward I was scared at being so close to losing my life, and for having been through my first surgery. I was relieved to not be pregnant without having to make a very hard decision, and also mad at my body for not performing as expected. But mostly relieved. The recovery was hard, both the physical side and emotionally. So allow yourself the time. And even while relieved you may need to mourn.

It also seriously freaked out my husband who had thoughts of raising our two kids alone, without me. He was frightened all over again when I got pregnant again (and lost that one too).

But when you can, hug your kids a lot and smell their warm little necks. It helps.

Ohhhh, sweetheart, what a rough time you’ve had. Best wishes for a swift recovery. {{{{{overlyverbose}}}}}

Damn OV :frowning: I’m sorry you went through this :frowning: Glad it was caught before things got REALLY really bad, though!

hugs

Bah, I’ve had three unplanned pregnancies. Whatever you decide, it will be okay. It just will. Don’t worry.

Oh, sorry, OP. I didn’t read the whole thread. I hope things go well for you and that you feel better soon.

Thinking of you, OverlyV. I’ve been where you are too.

And a hug for the Kapowz, too.
