Episode description

Type of Loss: Early-term loss, multiple losses, heterotopic pregnancy

More about Tara's Story: Tara and her husband were over the excited when they found out they were pregnant with their first child in October 2011. After a few weeks, she started bleeding, after an ER visit, and 2 HCG tests, they discovered that the baby was not growing correctly. At this time, Tara started to experience severe pain on the right side of her abdomen. At her 12 week appointment she was told her baby had no heartbeat. After processing the devastating news, she had a D&C. In the following 6 weeks, Tara explains that she was still experiencing extreme pain. She made countless doctors appointments, had kidney tests, cat scans, saw chiropractors, and more ultrasounds and nothing was discovered. While at dinner in early January 2012, she started experiencing more severe stomach pain and bleeding and was rushed to the ER. She begged for an exploratory laparoscopy where it was finally discovered that her right fallopian tube had ruptured due to an ectopic pregnancy that had occurred at the same time as the intrauterine pregnancy. This is called a heterotopic pregnancy an occurs in only 1 of 30,000 pregnancies.
