Normal pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy. Once it occurs, the pregnancy must be terminated immediately, otherwise it may have very serious consequences. Ectopic pregnancies usually require surgery. If you have had an ectopic pregnancy, you can still have a normal pregnancy as long as it is handled promptly and correctly, but there are many things you need to pay attention to. So, what should you pay attention to if you want to get pregnant normally after an ectopic pregnancy? Let’s take a look below.

What should you pay attention to when you successfully get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy?

1. Generally speaking, you can prepare for pregnancy six months after ectopic pregnancy surgery. Because ectopic pregnancy destroys the function of the fallopian tube. The chance of pregnancy is about 50% lower than normal. It is recommended that during the pregnancy preparation period, you can do a hysterosalpingography examination to understand the functional status of the other fallopian tube.

2. In this case, it is best to do a prenatal check-up before getting pregnant, and pay attention to any problems and treat them before getting pregnant. You should wait until your body has fully recovered to normal before getting pregnant under the guidance of a doctor. Before getting pregnant, you should pay attention to keeping a happy mood, strengthening nutrition, etc. These are the same precautions as in previous pregnancies.
