Recovering from surgery whilst pregnant.

[charlottecarter91]

Im currently recovering from major surgery.

I went to the doctor in pain at 6 weeks pregnant. They send me for early scan and said it's just pregnacy pain and endo should ease soon.

I went home with codeine but the pain worsened and I had to call emergency out of hours.

The pain was actually from burst cysts on my ovary. I was admitted to hospital who diagnosed me with all sorts before being rushed to theater with very high infection markers in my blood. They went in not knowing what was wrong. My appendix was covered in endometriosis so they took it out. And I was full of puss from burst cysts. I had a lot more cysts which were cut open and drained and also my tube was infected. I also had 2 hours of bowel surgery to remove my bowel from being stuck to my womb as that would have caused problems later. I am very lucky! Scans show I'm 8 weeks pregnant still, with a strong heartbeat!

The pain I was told that was just endo and stretching pain was actually cysts popping and infecting me. Please if you are in constant pain do ask for a second opinion.
