Pregnant After Hysterectomy?

I am very curious and confused. I have read all the postings yet, I am not convinced. I do believe you can get pregnant after a hysterectomy but what are the chances of full survival, if any? I am baffled because I am having all the symptoms and I am scared to see the doctor. I can not comprehend being pregnant and having to have it removed. Call me crazy but I have issues with that. I think that is my greatest fear. Someone please help me with this. How can you be sewn up after a vaginal hysterectomy? I don't get that! There is no incision made at all. All I know is that before I had mine, I was told I could not get pregnant because I had a uterus full of tumors and had to wait a year because the day of my blood work, they told me I was pregnant and an ultrasound would not even show the baby. I have come through some strange situations and now I am totally blinded. The dad to possibly be wants me to carry it if I am, what do I say to him who has no kids. What in the world is going on????

I have always had ovulation pain, 5 days every cycle.

This month my husband and I were doing much make up sex. I started ovulating on the 8th, started having sex on the 9th----19th. On the 12th right after ovulation pains stopped I started getting different pains in ovaries. I have had breast pains, tired all the time, food taste funny, sharp debilitating pains with lightheadedness and sick stomach after, in both ovaries. Pains in my back right where ovary pains are in the front, my private area is swollen up, headaches, I even had really bad pains after orgasm on the 19th, havent had any sex since due to that reason.

It even seems like his "little guys" dint come out after sexual intercourse, maybe 2 times out of the 16-- 18 times we made love. Could there be a hole in my "tube sock"????

God said to me 18 yrs ago "a miracle baby", I have always believed I could and would carry it, although god did not say how, he just said "a miralce baby". Remember there are '"no set facts in science"', and I have been researching to find where this has happened, but dr's choose to end the pregnancy. That is unless they don't find it in time. I know of 3 cases where woman have delivered healthy baby from abdomen.

I know I am not sick--for I had my share of sickness in my female organs 18 yrs ago, and severe pains in my abdomen. I had pid, vaginitis, urethitis, trich, cysts all over my female organs, even fusion of my reproductive organs with the c-sections scars from my last child 19 years ago. Anyone know of pregnancy after hysterectomy, good stories only please
i have 2 ovaries and 1 tube, which by the way is tied.

I have found a site where woman was pregnant after hysterectomy also here is the link:

http://c ontent.Nejm.Org/cgi/content/extract/349/16 /1534

ps the reason we dont hear of more of these cases is cuz drs just automatically take them out of the women.
If its not in the tube why not just leave it and let god sort it out. Monitor the pregnancy more and let the woman be advised of any complications to look for. It is still her choice, but they talk about it like it is impossible. I heard of three abdominal birth in the last month searching the internet, only cuz drs dint know till full term.

First - the lady in the article was already pregnant when the hyst was performed.


The fertilised egg had not yet travelled down her tube to the uterus and subsequently implanted in the abdomen.


Without a uterus *it is not possible* to carry a child.


The uterus is the *only* structure in the body capable of sustaining a pregnancy.


Any pregnancy outside of the uterus is ectopic or "parasitic", and is likely to be fatal if not removed as soon as possible.



Sweetpsalms: once a hyst is performed the vagina (if a complete hyst) is sewn shut at the top forming a vaginal cuff, if you have a sub total hyst (you keep the cervix) the remaining muscle is sewn shut over the top of the cervix - either way you have a dead ended "pocket" there is no connection to the fallopian tubes - how is the sperm going to get to the egg?


- where do you think you would carry the baby?


Pregnancy after a hysterectomy *is not physically possible*

i think you would all benefit from reading a few pages from this site here:
pre-hyst link
hysterectomy link

fatfamily: doctors remove these parasitic pregnancies because they are not viable. Indeed they are likely to be fatal.


There are not cases of women having delivered abdominal pregnancies!


I have done extensive research due to my own unusual uterine condition.



You really do have to face facts that although god may say things to you he can not enable you to carry a pregnancy when you are missing the only one structure capable of sustaining that pregnancy.



Maybe when he said miracle baby he was telling you the baby you had already was your miracle.


If you had a child 19 years ago you are likely to be approaching 40 and there fore if you are experiencing pregnancy like symptoms it is in all honestly probably menopause.

A 22-year-old primiparous woman was admitted to the hospital in labor at 38 weeks of gestation, with a diagnosis of transverse lie. She had a history of vaginal bleeding in the first trimester but no other complaints. Apart from the transverse lie, physical findings were normal. Fundal height was 38 cm. The cervix was dilated 2 cm but not effaced, and no presenting part was palpated. Because of the transverse lie, the patient was taken to surgery for cesarean delivery. When the abdomen was opened, a gestational sac was found superior to the uterus. The sac was incised and a female infant, weighing 2.6 kg (5 lb, 12 oz) was delivered. The infant had apgar scores of 2 and 6.

The placenta was attached to the right superior margin of the uterus, the right tube and ovary, and the broad ligament. The placenta was removed because of massive hemorrhage, with blood loss of 3,900 ml. The postoperative course was complicated by a transfusion reaction. The mother and the normal infant were discharged 16 days after delivery.

if the links dont work by clicking just copy and take to internet exploer and put in address bar they will work.

Mary (19 years) was observed to have a transverse lie at 7 months. External version failed, so she was allowed to go to term. At 40 weeks she had abdominal pains, but the lie was still oblique. On pelvic examination her cervix was in a curious position in front of the fetal head. At caesarean section she did not seem to have a uterus, instead her membranes were close against her abdominal wall. After a live baby girl had been delivered, the placenta was found to be attached to her left fallopian tube. It was left in place and as many of the membranes as possible removed. She recovered uneventfully.

If the pregnancy is more than 24 weeks and the baby is still alive, consider leaving him until 34 to 36 weeks, so as to improve his chances of survival. Often, she has few children or none, and is grateful for a live child. If you decide to do this she may bleed before term (uncommon), so keep her in hospital to wait

In so many of the cases I have found the dr's intervene cuz it is too dangerous. They remove the fetus or give methotrexate to stop the rapid cell growth--known as the fetus. "the products of conception"

i think more of these pregnancies should be monitored I understand it can be very dangerous, but how many could have lived if they would have just left them alone and monitored the woman more closely.

It is possible and happens all the time, with a uterus, why couldnt it happen without. There have been something like 12 cases in the past 60 years that we know about, what about all the ones who had their life taken beforehand. The baby still lives in the few cases where dr's did not "remove them" and I only found one case where the woman actually died from the complications.

Just think how small a hole could be to let semen in???

Quote[parasitic pregnancies ]

a parasitic pregnancy is when the baby is not a baby, but a bunch of cells growing, possibly appearance of baby, but no heart and or no brain.

These examples I am speaking are totally viable pregnancy, but have been declared abnormal--by dr explaination(of the fact it is out of place), not non-viable.

It's impossible to get pregnant after a hysterectomy.

You need your overies, at least 1 to have a child.

All these pple are with ovaries or atlest one ovary

[quote="howie4"]hello ladies :d

hello, I had a hysterectomy in 2003, I was already blessed with four children so I wasn't really concerned that I could not have any more children. Three weeks ago I started cramping (like menstrual cramps) I also had breast tenderness, fatigue and nausea only when I took certain medications would I vomit. I called the dr because I knew something was wrong I was also frequently urinating, whe I got to the dr they did blood work and a sono it turned out I was pregnant. I freaked out did'nt know what to do he gave me some injections to get rid of it I was feeling so confused and hurt, I thought when I had my partial hyst that I would never be able to have children or get pregnant. I only have my right ovary and tube the rest is all gone how was this possible?
:shock: :shock:

Maybe you all should read this--huh

lots more proof here. I have now found 3 or 4 girls on here--post hysterectomy who had baby, but the drs say not possible and abort them with cancer drugs, like methotrexate and the like.

Thank you god

Hi, I thought I was crazy I had a hysterectomy in july 2004 and I feel like i'm pregnant. I have always been a fertile one. Does anyone know of any cases where there have been babies born without having a uterus?
Or am I wishful thinking.
