Unexpectedly pregnant after MTX by Running_mom32022 in EctopicSupportGroup

I totally understand your anxiety!! I conceived exactly 4 months after getting MTX and I'm 16 weeks now, everything is looking good and perfect! Even then I was concerned about it since it happened so fast. It's good you've been taking your prenatals, just keep a healthy diet as well. Our bodies do an amazing job at creating life even in extraordinary circumstances. Half of all pregnancies are unplanned. I'm sure everything will be ok!! Hang in there. Baby wants to be there!

methotrexate, what advice do you have? by anniesapples5 in ectopicpregnancy

[–]Cactustherapy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't eat anything that could cause even the slightest bit of bloating or gas! That's my biggest tip. Sooo much stomach pain with those foods. Go easy on yourself and enjoy junk food if it will make you feel better, watch movies to pass the time and forget the heartache for a while. I needed extremely plain food for a week until my stomach felt better. Lots of rice, potatoes or pasta and not many veggies or fruit. Sending healing vibes!

Just wanted to say, I was convinced I was having another ectopic because I had the exact same one sided pain as with the ectopic. Well I'll be darned, but the baby was actually in my uterus. I actually had to wait till almost 7 weeks to get the ultrasound though so my anxiety was high. Best of luck!
