Pregnancy after Endometrial Ablation

I am looking for more info on pregnancy after an endometrial ablation.  I had an ablation in May 2002.  January 2003 I was not feeling well and went to the family doctor.  She thought it may be an ectopic pregnancy since I was told I was sterile.  I had an ultrasound to discover it was an interuterine pregnancy and I was about 9 weeks.  I am now 17 weeks and for the past month trying to decide to terminate or continue.  I am having a very hard time finding any info on any one with this happening to them and the risks to me or my unborn child.  I have seen several doctors and none of them have ever heard of this happening and 2 have suggested termination.  I have an appointment with a high risk specialist on Thursday (02/27/03).  Please tell me where I can find more info or who to contact.  Thanks.

Congratulations!! How scary! I'm glad to hear you are on the mend. We are also officially done having babies. My sleeping 18 month old is laying on me right now. She is a joy but what a scary pregnancy. Thank you for letting us know your outcome . Your last pregnancy helped give me hope through mine. Rest up and enjoy that bundle.

Hello Everyone. I thought I would update everyone. I had my baby girl and she is doing great! She was 7lbs 7 oz and 20.5 inches.  Once again, the epidural did not work, so I was able to feel most of the labor  :(   It was a successful VBac. Things went pretty well, but we did have a scare at the end. My uterus would not contract and I did hemorrhage. They were eventually able to stop it, without major complications, but it was enough to where they had to keep me under close watch for 48 hours. I am now on iron 3 times a day, and have to keep watching for any further bleeding for a couple weeks. While it was happening, it was pretty scary b/c I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open b/c my blood pressure had dropped so low, but I could see the panic in the docs eyes, and the blood covering them as they worked frantically to stop the bleed. My numbers were back to the low end of normal before I left, and all is okay now.

I am grateful that my baby girl is healthy, and that things are good with me now. We are done having kiddos now.

Hope everyone is doing well  :)

Things are going well. I am scheduled for induction this Thursday....eep!  I will try to update once we're settled in at home. I'm hoping for a smooth delivery. They tend to keep my delivery room well stocked with doctors and nurses, just in case. Keeping my fingers crossed it will just be a smooth delivery  :)
