Pregnant After Hysterectomy Posted: 09-21-05 12:01pm
Just to clarify people....Nobody is being
mean, it is just physically impossible for
a woman to get pregnant after having a
hysterectomy. Surgeons close off the
opening of the vagina to the abdominal
cavity at the end of the operation, so the
vagina is now a closed sac which is open
only at the outside. Even if somebody
stuck a woman who had had a hysterectomy
with a needle through her abdomen
containing fertilized eggs and injected
her with them (which we honestly doubt
would ever happen - even hollywood hasn't
done that yet), it would be like a
0.00000000000000001% chance of the
fertilized egg ever developing into
anything....Truth is, chances are probably
less.
There is a condition called pseudo-paresis
in which the woman so strongly believes
she is pregnant that her body shows all
symptoms....Enlarging belly and all!!
Like I said before, I am not trying to be
mean, but just stating scientific, medical
facts.

You say this.. But there is also medical
evidence that thsi can happen.
Not to mention that it is possible to
carry a baby outside of the uterus, and it
has happend.
Just because it hasnt happened to you
doent mean it cant happen, and I knwo full
well this is in referance to
fatfamily02.
If she truly belives that she is pregnant
and eventually pops out a baby then whos
got egg on their face? And in all
fairness.. Does it really hurt any one?
Shes god knows how many miles from you..
And on the off chance she isnt is it
really going to affect yoru day to day
living?

The cases where a baby developed in the
abdomen all pertained to women who had a
uterus. Remember the first thing about
getting pregnant....A sperm has to get to
the egg! If the vagina is a closed sack,
how can that happen?
Yes it is in reference to who you
mentioned, but i'm not saying anything
negative about her. She is a great asset
to this forum and gives a lot of great
advice and obviously cares a lot about
people.
I'm science-based in nature, and had to
state my knowledge....As I have every
right to

Why Does It Matter Posted: 09-21-05 13:08pm

not. She is obviously is pregnant so what
does it matter how or why?

I'm not saying it is or isn't possible.
With god, anything is possible. But
there are some people out there who are
habitual liars and their lying is actually
an illness. Like I said though, with god
anything is possble.

It Is Possible And Does Happen--"no Set Facts In Scienc Posted: 09-21-05 13:55pm
The only different between ectopic and my
ectopic without a uterus is there is no
uterus(not being used in ectopic anyway)
and a little hole in my vaginal cuff, or
vaginal end. How small a hole have to
be for sperm to get thru. And when
sperm dint come out of me where did it
go!!! Hhhuummm! I have posted 2 of
the cases where they had no uterus and
conceived--one the link didnt work and the
other I have part of it listed in my
posts. I technically dont care what you
think and you can all gang up on me if you
want---the baby moves I feel his
heartbeat, I feel the blood pulsing thru
his sac, and he moves everyday. And my
god is bigger than your unbelief and with
him even if it were impossible as you
say--he could still make it happen. He
promised me 18 years ago, I have bled for
what I believe I have even been called
dillusional for what I believe and I know
I am preg. Period case closed---watch
the news. 6 months from now im sure it
will go national in the news, my name is
"joanna wells" look for it. And I for
sure will be posting something on here
when I do deliver.
There have been 12 documented case with no
uterus in the last 60 years--medical
files, and one girl who posted on here who
they killed her baby with methotrexate.So
she would be 13 known cases. Im sure
there is more, I have page after page from
the 1600-1800 of women and it is scarry
what they endured. Abdominal
pregnancy--ectopic pregnancy--heterotopic
pregnancy. Research it, you have the
internet.

Look at the pic what you think the round
mass is in my abdomen. Even if it was
just fat wouldnt look like that. Quit
stepping on their faith--maybe they need
to believe god can--and will bless all who
dare to believe. Whatever it is. These
girls need some sunshine, why throwing up
the storm clouds. You cant hurt me, like
I said to late to tell me im not preg, and
noone can touch my baby. In jesus name
ever. He is my miralce baby just like
god spoke to me 18 years ago.
I'm sorry if I have offended you...That
was not my intention. If indeed there is
a baby, I wish you a healthful remainder
of the pregnancy and wish you all the
best.... I truly do. Like a said, I have
a scientific mind which translates to
cynical. Good luck with everything

well I know a nurse in bakersfield who
would argue with you on that--they thought
she had tumor, no tests come out, she
started having what seemed to be labor,
they went in to explore and found full
term baby. She had, had hysterectomy
previously done.
You are misinformed--sorry

i do not believe in this either. I know
that there are cases of pregnancies
happening, most of them do not go to term,
and end up being very painful.
As far as fatfamily02 goes, man
that's her business. And askara
is just jumping to conclusions. If anyone
wanted to attack fatfamily02, they could
go chose one of the 100 different posts
against her, and rant in there.
This is a general question, so all of the
fatfamily02 a** kissers, brown nosers, and
net buddies need to take the 'defense'
some where else. Get off your high horse,
this forum isn't all about you.
Anyway....
No I do not believe that it is possible.
But it also depends on what sort of
hysterectomy the patient has had. Either
way, it is extremely unhealthy and most of
the time, very dangerous.
This is my statement, I have not asked
anyone on the board a question, so your
denials, retorts, or overall opposing
opinion is not needed. I work in the
health care industry, and this has an
almost non-existent chance of happening.

As a pharmacist you dispense drugs, you
can't even prescribe them, congrats you
know about medications. I am a medical
transcription student, and last week we
lightly touched on ectopic pregnancies, we
did not discuss ectopic pregnancies
without a uterus, but my teacher said that
abdominal pregnancies do happen, just not
with a large success rate.
As for pseudoparesis we also talked about
that, that is simply you have every
symptom of pregnancy, kicks, alck of
period, swelling of the stomach, rise in
hcg, etc but there is no baby when you do
an ultrasound.

ooh ooh! Do me! Tell me what I know!
I'm an ambulance dispatcher. I deal with
doctors, rns, and medics every day many on
a face to face...
Tell me what I know!
Lmao....
Yes it can happen. Don't chose to address
the only opinions that offer no
explanation. I said that it is possible,
but not only does it hardly ever happen,
but the fact that a bouncing baby is going
to some how emerge from a woman's abdomen,
alert and healthy, it about as possible as
a rainbow popping out her a** right
after....

In case you haven't read fatfamily's
posts, she has not had a positive urine or
blood pregnancy test and she also had an
ultrasound in which no baby was found in
her abdomen...Get your facts straight.
And trust me, as a pharmacist i'm higher
on the health field totem pole than a
medical transcriptionist (ie secretary).
Please don't presume to know more about
this stuff than me. I was in university
for 10 years and at the top of my class
all along.
Respectfully,

well in my oppioun I think she looks
prgnant. And why would anyone want to lie
about something like that? I mean really.
Even if she is lying in which case I do
not believe she is. That is her
bussiness. It is none of my bussines and
so with that being said all I say is I am
happy for her and her unborn baby.

Either Way... Posted: 09-21-05 18:05pm
Well, I think it's doubtful but, stranger
things have happened, and either way-
there are two posiibilities- she is, or
she isn't.
If she is, then it's very hard on her to
be constantly trying to convince people of
the fact, and worried about about how it
will all turn out, because she is not
receiving much support from the medical
community.
If she isn't, well, she truely believes
she is, so how hard do you think that will
be on her? She has felt what she believes
is her child moving inside her, and formed
a relationship with what she believes to
be her son already.
Either way, who cares, she's a fellow
woman in need of support, and using this
forum to get some. If it bothers you,
don't read her posts, or just skip over
when you see her posts in a topic.
