Supporting friends, family members, and clients through Ectopic Pregnancies can be very challenging. In some cases, they’re detected early and people are given a choice as to how they want to manage it. However, the majority of ectopic pregnancies are discovered while they’re rupturing and posing a threat to the person’s life who was carrying the pregnancy. Decisions usually have to be made quickly.
Whether you’re reading this while stepping up to support someone right now, or doing your best to prepare in advance, here are some resources I go to frequently:
