APPENDICITIS While Pregnant at 18 Weeks / Laparoscopic Appendectomy in Pregnancy / STORY TIME Maria

[@margiemuga6868]

Thanks for sharing. This gives me hope. I had the appendectomy while 26 wks Pregnant. Praying and believing that I will carry my baby to full term and this video is definitely encouraging. Thanks for sharing

[@MariaSegovia]

You totally will!!! Margie you are a brave woman and believe that what you went through by having that surgery will give you more strength to be a better mama and to bond deeply with you child! Al the best for your baby and you!

Did u have normal delivery or c section?

[@rahfasibath9845]

Hello..how was your delivery ,now i had appendix 35week ,

[@irenebron8117]

Thank u ms. Maria.. Had may appendictomy 4 days ago. Praying my child will be ok after this operation. Praying also to all d moms out there to havs normal deliveries 🙏🙏🙏

[@MariaSegovia]

Praying 🙏🏼 along with you mama! You’ll be fine and you’ll get to see your healthy baby soon ❤️ How are you feeling now?

[@Cloudzzzonice48]

I had my appendix removed at 20 weeks. I thought it was a bladder infection at first but the x-ray revealed that it was actually my inflamed appendix sitting on top of my bladder making it hurt as well. Surgery was a success and my "baby" is now ten years old. I will never forget the feeling of having my sore cauterized insides kicked from the inside the day right after surgery by my darling little kid to be lol :)

[@MariaSegovia]

Lindsay! Thank you for sharing your story and being hope to these women that are going through the same thing. Appendicitis while pregnant if more common than what people think. Big hugs 🤗

[@judelatta4487]

So happy you made this video! I’m 23 weeks pregnant, and I’m 3 days post-op from a laparoscopic appendectomy. My babygirl is A-Okay! She reminds me everytime she kicks my sutures😂but I’m grateful to be well and healing together with her. Thank you for spreading awareness on this topic, it’s comforting to see how common this occurs❣️🫶🏼

It is more common than we think. We should talk more about it. Good luck with everything 💚

[@Peanatzzz27]

For me, i was 21 weeks pregnant, sharp stabbing pain on my right lower abdomen, can feel baby kicking but still worried, went straight to ER, did blood test, WBC was high, did ultrasound, found out i had acute appendicitis, doctor said it would be much riskier if we didn’t do surgery, so was scheduled for laparospic appendectomy, my baby boy was all fine strong heartbeat and can feel his kicks which reassured me all through out this nightmare, still can’t believe i went through all of that 💔 my baby boy is so strong 😭💙

[@annf543]

Omg how scary. I'm 6 days out and still in pain. Can't find a comfortable position to sleep. Doc didn't want to do a ultrasound, ct scan just went straight to get my appendix out. It wasn't appendix it was my ovaries, it twisted and the pain was unbearable, appendix was swollen and they took it out anyway. Glad you and baby are okay. I'm 26 weeks pregnant and it's scary.

[@lexyjill1683]

Hello Maria, I watched your video a day before I was also diagnosed of appendecitis. I am 5 months pregnant and scared of loosing my second baby. Glad that you are working at the Hospital when it happened. My appendicitis is aldready ruptured when I had my operations. (And it was so so painful + contruction) Doctors at first thought I am Preterm Labor because of so much pain. Good thing they found my Cervix is closed. Thankfully opperation went well, me and my baby are doing ok. We are on 5th day at the Hospital and hopefully discharge tomorrow. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless with your Family.❤

I have been trying to find someone who had appendicitis in pregnancy and your description of symptoms is all very similar to mine.

[@MariaSegovia]

Thank you Johana! Hope you are doing well. ❤️

[@mayragomez2170]

Just went thru a similar situation, I went to the ER thinking it was something dumb like been constipated. But it was appendicitis. At almost 34 weeks, it became high risk. It took a while to find a surgeon and OB willing to do the surgery. I started having contractions after coming surgery 7-8 contractions every 10 mins. They gave me medicine to stop contractions and gave me steroids shots for the baby. I'm home now, 2nd day of recovery, hopefully I can make it to 40 weeks with my baby.

[@MariaSegovia]

Wow, what a scary situation indeed. I’m glad you are home recovering. Praying for a healthy pregnancy to full term and an easy delivery. Keep me posted! 😊

[@royalfamily3076]

Where exactly did the appendix moved to? I am 21 weeks and have lot of pain in lower right side area (right above the right pelvic area) they could not see my appendix in the scan but they said the appendix should have moved up and sent me home with Tylenol.

[@MariaSegovia]

If you need medical attention please go to your closest medical center. In my case the appendix moved up and they were able to see it with an ultrasound and confirmed appendicitis with the laboratory work. Hope everything goes welll for you and your baby

[@rachaelmason2528]

I had an emergency lap appendicectomy in March 2018 at 22w pregnant. Horrid experience and was told I could lose baby as appendix had perforated, so it really dampened the remainder of the pregnancy. I ended up having a CS at 37w due to preeclampsia. My boy has a cerebral palsy like disability but I’ve no idea what the relationship is with my appendicectomy. I have nightmares and flashbacks a lot! So glad you & your little boy have recovered well. Thanks for sharing your story x

[@MariaSegovia]

Rachael, going through any surgery during pregnancy is really hard. Is your boy having any therapy to help with his condition? My understanding is that this surgery doesn't affect the baby, however lots of things can affect him during the birthing process. I hope you find some help to process what happened. I definitely had to go to therapy to accept and process my surgery so I could move forward, specially for my baby. Big hugs to you!

I just had a lap appy on Monday, which was my 13 wk mark. Frustrating thing is that I was misdiagnosed the day prior with "round ligament pain" and discharged from the ER with instructions to drink water. That was it. So next day it was worse, so I reported to the hospital where my OB has privileges. So glad that ER did all of the appropriate tests. Removed before rupture. Baby is doing well.

Iam 6 weeks pregnant I’m really scared and confused will the appendix pain comes again😨 please help me

[@MariaSegovia]

Misba congratulations on being pregnant! These are strange times indeed, but above all we need to trust and not to live in fear. 💙 Appendix pain can be confused with intestinal pain or gallbladder pain. Since you are pregnant it is so important that you are calm and aware of any pain so you can tell your doctor right away. Since I’m answering this message so late maybe you can give us an update on your baby. Best wishes

[@vineelarayepudi3774]

I got discharged from the hospital after getting treated for accute appendicitis for 5 days and went to ER for straight continuous 4 days where they didn’t identify the problem initially they straight away send me home treating with IV finally 5 th day they admitted me in the hospital and treated me with antibiotics and I am currently 28 weeks pregnant ….. I have gone through the horrible pain and 10 sleep less nights …….. finally started recovering….. the only heartbreaking and the stressful thing is they have done the CT scan for me I know this is not at all advised for pregnant ladies and not at all good for growing baby …. Will this have any impact? This pain is killing me 😭

[@MariaSegovia]

Hello Vineela. I'm glad to hear that you are recovering now. Please know that babies are more resilient than you think and most likely she will be fine after the CT Scan. If you feel more pain or that something is not right, just go to the ER again or ask your doctor. You are on the final stretch now and need to take care of yourself and your baby as much as you can. Wish you the best with your new baby and I hope you get better very soon.
