Pregnancy After Hysterectomy Posted: 11-22-04 10:51am
Is there anyone else besides me, that is
going through this? I'm scared and
confused. I really thought that it was
over after my hysterectomy. What are the
chances of survival?

Get to a doc. My mom had a hysterectomy
years ago and when I told her I was preggy
she got a period- she wants to kill
me-lol. I thought it was imposssible to
get preg after a hysterectomy since your
ovaries are gone. Did u have a full one
or partial? Are you sure your pregnant -
no offense but it could be early
menopause. Let us know.

Wow good luck. My dad had a vasectomy
before I was born and here I am! Course
that was 22 years ago, so surgery wasnt as
advanced but still... And I think its
more common for it to not be as effective
with men than women. Let us know after
checking with a doc

Yes, I am sure. I have been to the doctor
and I am 3 months. The doctor that did
my hysterectomy left one of my ovaries. I
am so outdone. I really thought that part
of my life was over. I would have never
imagined.

Well if you are preggy now then that's
half the battle-i'm sure as long as you
take care of yourself then everything will
be ok. Check with your doc and good
luck!

Ummm I have had a hysterectomy.
What are you carrying your baby in??? You
cervix if you kept it would have been
stitched up if not you would have had a
vaginal cuff.
A doctor would not allow a pregnancy to
continue in the abdominal cavity - it is
life threatening - it is an ectopic
pregnancy.
If you really do have a pregnancy in the
abdominal cavity and your doctor really
has done nothing about, get to another
doctor .F.A.S.T

For those who do not know.
The baby is carried in the uterus -
anywhere else is life-threatening.
Hysterectomy is removal of the uterus and
sealing of the vagina/cervix.
I have an ovary remaining, in fact I only
ever had one.

From - juniper - hyster sister
there have been 12 recorded cases in the
past (i think) 60 years of hysterectomies
of women getting pregnant after surgery
(there were 24 other cases of women having
an ectopic before the surgery that was not
discovered at that time).
A pregnancy would result from a tear in
the vaginal cuff or if she kept her cervix
in the cervical pouch.
An ectopic pregnancy can occur anywhere in
the abdomen, though the most common place
is in the fallopian tubes. A full-term
pregnancy cannot be supported outside the
uterus, the mechanism for supplying blood
to the fetus just isn't there.
I hope this woman is able to find the
proper medical care for whatever condition
she might have (sometimes ovarian cysts
can mimic pregnancy, causing lactation and
positive pregnancy tests via urine
analysis).
