When can you drive after keyhole surgery to remove ectopic pregnancy and one tube?

I recently had surgery, and I was able to drive about a week later. (I probably could have done it sooner, but you will probably be on pain meds which interfere with your ability to drive). As long as you can handle the pain of sitting up as your stomach muscles heal, you can drive. I would say that without meds you could drive within a day or two.

Can you feel your baby moving with an ectopic pregnancy?

What is done when you have a ectopic pregnancy?
Well there are usually a small handful of possibilities that comes to treating an ectopic pregnancy. One, the ectopic pregnancy dies and the mothers body reabsorbs the egg and at times is never even detected and the woman might have never even known she was pregnant. If you encountered a positive pregnancy test then a later did another one and it came back negative, that could have been a possibility that it was an ectopic pregnancy. Or the other possibility with an ectopic pregnancy is that the tube that is holding the ectopic pregnancy may rupture causing severe abdominal pain and may cause extreme complications and surgery may be needed. If the ectopic pregnancy is detected by a physician, then he/she may prescribe a drug called methotrexate, which is injected into a muscles and ends the pregnancy. If the embryo is small enough doctors can remove the embryo through laparoscopic surgery and can usually save the tube. In this situation, a general anesthetic will be used and you will need to take about a week to recover. * http://www.multikulti.org.uk/en/health/ectopic-pregnancy/ * http://www.babycenter.com/0_ectopic-pregnancy_229.bc?articleId=229&page=4 * http://www.medinfo2004.org/get-to-know-about-ectopic-pregnancy-174/ You will most likely have to undergo minor surgery to remove the ectopic pregnancy or you can be prescribed medication that will end the pregnancy.

I am 5-6 weeks pregnant. I had a day where I had sharp steady pain in my lower left side of my abdomen at about a 4 on a 1-10 pain scale. It is gone should I still worry about ectopic pregnancy?
the cramps with my ectopic pregnancy came and went ( sometimes days went by with no pain at all) i never had really intense pain until after my tube shredded and at that point the pain i felt most was just the internal bleeding compressing my other organs. i had to have emergency surgery to stop the hemorrhage and remove the damaged fallopian tube. pain and/or cramping on just one side (even if it comes and goes) can be an indicator that the pregnancy is ectopic.

That all really depends on the placement of the jewelery, the gauge of it, the regulations of the hospital, and the Doctor's personal preference as well if he or she feels that it will be appropriate and not get in the way of the procedure.
Can you get pregnant after iv had an ectopic pregnancy but I haven't got my period since the operation to remove it?
Certainly! An ectopic pregnancy is not a condition that affects your reproductive organs such as endometriosis. You have a 1 in 2 chance of conception if you had no problems prior to your ectopic pregnancy. About 60% conceive successfully after an ectopic pregnancy and about 30% choose not to try conceiving again. If you do conceive successfully after having an ectopic pregnancy, it is important to notify your doctor at the first visit of this so that he/she can pay special attention to any warning signs and help you and your baby have a successful future pregnancy.

Had an etopic in 2004 then had a bady in 2005 cud you have an etopic again?
Unfortunately there are no guarantees against you having or not having another ectopic pregnancy, partially because the reasons for ectopic pregnancy are really unknown at the time. It can be difficult physically and emotionally after the loss of a child when trying to conceive again. I would recommend that you let a few people that are close to you in your life know that you want to try again and make sure you have their support. It is always good to know that you have a few people that you can have help you through these times. Just make sure that you are ready to try again emotionally, as well as your partner and then you will just need to asses whether or not you are ready to try again because there are chances that it could happen again, especially if you had to have surgery to remove your last one. If your fallopian tubes were not obstructed in any way from your last ectopic pregnancy, you have about a 60% chance of having a successful pregnancy in the future.
