I had a partial hysterectomy couple of years ago. Right now I am having symptoms of being pregnant. If I got pregnant after partial hysterectomy, what now? If you have any info since please pass it on to my because I am confused and getting very scared.
Hysterectomy, partial or complete means removal of the uterus, so if you do not have a uterus, there is no suitable tissue for the placenta to implant and nothing to form a protective sac around the baby. Any possible pregnancy is an ectopic pregnancy and therefore life threatening! The pregnancy would be ectopic were it implanted in a retained tube, attached to the abdominal wall, or attached to any other internal organ. All are life threatening.
