Can anyone tell me what it feels like to have a tubal pregnancy and the signs of it?

Question

Does anyone know how to differenciate between a tubal pregnancy and a miscarriage just by the feelings? I hope its an understandable question I might be able to give more details when I see answers. thanks

How long do you usually bleed with each of them.?

Answer 1

I have had two miscarriages and just had an ectopic removed 2 1/2 weeks ago. The only difference that I felt or observed was the difference in the color of blood. With the miscarriages it was a dark brown which turned to very dark red. With my tubal it was more of a prune juice color and it was only minor spotting. Generally they say you have more pain with a tubal but I had no pain at all(I was also internally bleeding with no pain) I had absolutely no idea it was a tubal when I went in for my OB check up. If you believe you may have a tubal then you need to be seen by a doctor ASAP.

I haven't had one, but I hear it is really really painful. I'd go to my doctor right away if you are worried.
There are certain aches and pains that are normal, almost like period cramps, and little tinges of pain every now and then while your ligaments are stretching. Sometimes if you get up too fast, or if you sneeze. These little pains aren't anything to worry about, but if you feel really bad cramps like period or worse, then I'd worry about miscarriage. And if there is any bleeding at all, go to your doctor right away.
As for tubal, or ectopic, I think you'll know. I think the pain will be constant and unbearable after say, 8 or ten weeks. Like I said, I haven't had it, but I bet you're just fine, and worry like I do. I'm 16 weeks, and it's only now that I'm relaxing a bit..I, too, worried about ectopic pregnancy, and miscarriage..just something that comes with pregnancy and motherhood :)

I bet you are fine. Just relax and put your feet up if you feel pain. If it goes away, you're fine. It never hurts to talk to your doctor about your worries. They hear the same things everyday and you wont be a bother. Good luck and congrats on the baby :)

With both there could be bad cramping, maybe some bleeding. If something doesn't feel right, call the doctor, they could do an ultrasound and tell you for sure of whats going on! Good luck sweety!!!
