Recovering from another Pregnancy Loss: Miscarriage after an ectopic....


 


So i have been away for weeks...found out I was pregnant couple of months ago, and had a roller-coaster ride ending in a miscarriage which I opted for my body to expel the pregnancy by itself without any medical intervention...How wrong I was!!!
I ended up with sepsis, blood poisoning and I am lucky to be alive....
I will be updating the details in the next few days...
Recovery in progress and thankful for LIFE!!!!
