In February 2020 we found out Zoe was pregnant. We were elated. Unfortunately, this feeling lasted only a few short weeks. Sadly, the pregnancy was ectopic. 

Over the course of two weeks, Zoe was first treated with two doses of methotrexate which didn't end the pregnancy. In the middle of the night, a couple of days after the second dose, Zoe woke up in immense pain and I rushed her to hospital. A fallopian tube had ruptured. This could have taken her life. Later that day she had emergency surgery to remove the tube and the pregnancy. 

80 in 1 is an initiative from the Ectopic Pregnancy Trust to help raise money for the amazing work that they do to support families and people who have sadly suffered an ectopic pregnancy.

'Ectopic pregnancy is a common, life-threatening condition that is a leading cause of death in early pregnancy. It affects 1 in 80 pregnancies in the UK and women have to face the physical trauma of major invasive treatment, their own mortality, the impact on their future fertility, and the heartbreak of losing their baby all in a short space of time. The impact of awareness of ectopic pregnancy is immense. We are passionate about raising awareness so that symptoms are recognised to enable women to seek medical help quickly.' – The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust
