My dr told me that you may not be able to see the baby that soon. I would talk with your dr and see what they tell you to do. Have you had any bloodwork yet? How are you feeling are you having any type of pain etc. Best wishes to you and I hope you have a whonderful pg. Take care and let me know what happens...

I had a tubal preg in may 08 and lost my right tube.  I still have not fallen preg.(Have pcos)  But I was told that if I did to ask for an early scan.  There is only a slight increased risk of having another ectopic but  an early scan would detect this and gives you the best chance of not damaging the other tube.  I was 10wks preg when my tube ruptured and lost not only my baby but nearly my life.  You have fallen preg again quickly and everything will prob be fine.  Best to be safe than sorry. Lots of luck and best wishes.  ps.  You have given alot of hope to someone who feels that they would never get preg again after the ectopic.  THANKYOU!

I also had a tubal pregnancy and a tube removed in 1996. I got pregnant again soon after and my OB sent me for a u/s early in my pregnancy. Everything went fine and I gave birth to a healthy baby boy in 1997. If you are worried I would ask your OB to send you for a u/s just to ease your mind. I'm sure everything will be just fine. Keep us posted and I will keep you and your baby in my thoughts.

Have you called your dr and asked what they think?  Explain that you had a tubal pg before and are concerned.  They should be able to guide you as far as how soon to have an u/s.

Best of luck to you and that this is a healthy pg!
