i was taking a nap when i heard someone crying. so i got up for i know that is my wife. she was on the phone crying but still talking with someone and i just sat down beside her and held her hand. i dont know what is was but i saw her very hurt and very emotional. as the talk on the phone ended she cried more. she was talking to her sister that for the second time had an ectopic pregnancy. i know news like this makes my wife very emotional for the feelings when she had miscarriages flows back again. i just sat down there and held her hand. it was breaking my heart to see her crying but of course i also felt sadness for her sister, for what happened.

Hi! I was beginning to think that it was your wife with the ectopic pregnancy. I'm sorry to hear about your wife's sister. I have a friend who had an ectopic pregnancy, too. She and her husband didn't have a choice, of course, ectopic pregnancies result in failed pregnancies. It was really sad because it was supposed to be their first child and they have been wanting a baby of their own for a long time.

sister of wife has ectopic pregnancy for the second time. and this is also their first baby and having ectopic for the second time is much painful than the first time. i know when we reach the hospital later she and my wife will be crying more... i really dont know what to say on situations like this so i just keep quiet and lend a hand if they need one. thanks a lot for the response.

That's really, really sad. Yes, all you can do is be by their side. I hope your wife's sister will not be too depressed about this.

the depressing time is when you are about to sleep. i hope her husband will always be there to support his wife. when my wife had miscarriage the hardest part was she wakes up at night to cry. so when she was strong enough to go with me at work i bring her with me. she sees all friends and she had fun. when she reach home she was to tired to cry already.

My sister is an OBgyne and one time i was talking to her and her friends and they were talking about the cause of ectopic pregnancy. One doctor said that most women who's husbands are seamen usually get ectopic pregnancy. That made me curious so I asked why. They then told me that one main reason for ectopic pregnancy is STD. There are some STD's that can only cause UTI among women and this causes ectopic pregnancy.

the husband is not a seaman. i will ask my wife what is the cause but of course not only seaman has STD and there are a lot of women who has UTI. my wife once had this due to too much drinking of tea. the doctor gave her medication and tell her to lessen the intake of tea, and of course drink 8 glasses of water. but i would like to know the cause. is there another reason besides STD?

I didn't say that it's ONLY the seamen and in fact i stated that MOST WOMEN who's husbands are. It's not even a general rule but a specific observation by the doctors themselves. Of course not only seamen get STD's. If a husband is having an extramarital affair that could be possible too. But then there are other causes as well. But again, the doctors said that the main problem of this kind of pregnancy is not due to the women but it's owing to the men's problem.

I'm glad that you are there in your wife's side. i wish I will have a husband like you in the future. It feels so comforting when there's someone who loves you so much and held your hand in times of pain.;-)

Thanks for giving the support that your wife needs right now. Let her understand that there are many women going through the same problem every now and then. She needs your support most right now especially during the emergency operation. Wish your and your wife the best.
