I wanted to share about my experience with intimacy both during and after my ectopic pregnancy. It was something I really didn't know I would be worried about, and it seems I had legitimate reason to worry!

Hi, I'm Maggie and I have Crohn's disease. I am thrilled to be here sharing my personal experiences with Inflammatory Bowel Disease as well as living with an ostomy. I'm proud to share a little bit from a clinical experience as well, having worked as a GI pediatric nurse and ostomy telehealth nurse. I am so glad you are here. โ™ฅ #ibd #crohnsdisease #ostomy

    Dear Maggie. I look up to you even though I'm taller than you. I'm a single guy but there are times you brought me to tears. In a way I'm glad YouTube brought you to me. Beforehand I knew very little about Ectopic pregnancies. Maggie, you're a perfect professor of giving me greater knowledge. Lots of precious ๐Ÿค—. Wishing the best for you and Zak. ๐Ÿ’‹๐ŸŒน
  • Maggie, you have been through way too much with health issues. I truly admire you and your ability to keep moving forward. You are so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. All will be well...

    Loosing a pregnancy, whether wanted or not planned, is hard. The physical "trauma" heals so much faster than the emotional. It's also important that women know that every body and mind heals differently. Some can lock away the emotions and move on quickly, some women grieve for long periods of time. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you're grieving "wrong". There absolutely is no wrong way to grieve! That goes for any loss you're experiencing. Your heart will tell you when it's time to move on to the next phase in life. And it's 100% ok to seek therapy if you're having a hard time dealing with loss.

    As you will guess from my name I'm male. So much respect to both of you for putting this out there. My sincere best wishes to you both โค๏ธโค๏ธ

    It's lovely of you Maggie to share your experience to help others & that it helps you too. Much love ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚โคโค
  • I think with any kind of pregnancy loss, the mind and emotions take so much longer to heal than the body does. I know that was the case after my miscarriage. I was nervous, anxious, and not really sure whether I was ready to resume that part of my relationship with my husband again. It took time and patience to get past that. I think you are so brave to share your experience with all of us. Years ago, when I experienced this loss, no one wanted to talk about it. I felt so alone and so did my husband. I guarantee that someone watching your videos will have an easier time healing because you made them feel like they arenโ€™t the only one going through this. You have the ability to help and touch peopleโ€™s lives because of your experience that no one else has. God bless you Maggie (and Zak too) for your raw honesty. โค

    Losing a child is something that has been called the deepest pain a person can feel. Even though you never met your child, you are still a mother who lost her child. That takes time to move past. Wishing you the best.
  • @anonanon1982
    Your frankness continues to be appreciated ๐Ÿ™‚ Thank you
  • @hammettgirl
    Thank you for sharing your story! I'm sure it is helping so many people! After my first C-section I think it took 6 months for one of my dissolving stitches to actually dissolve! ๐Ÿ’• You are amazing!!
  • @pixie706
    You are a star Maggie. Even some of us who have no medical issues have occasional problems and pain in this area . Zak is incredibly lucky to have you.
  • @wenke787
    Hey Maggie, i really love your honesty and the fact that you are sharing these sensitive informations. Itโ€™s super important to talk about these toppings in my opinion! There are still too many things that arenโ€˜t discussed that much (especially for women) so i think your content is really standing out. I wish you and your husband all the best for the futureโค Greetings from Germany
  • @jodil1209
    I think that it's really nice that you are sharing your experience.
  • @denasmolins5938
    Very brave of you to talk about sensitive subjects. You are a great educator and sweet human!
  • @snowwhite2709
    You have a fabulous way to talk about the serious stuff with tack and understanding, and a mix of your own experience.
  • Hey Maggie, I am semi new to your channel; however, I wanted to share some of my experiences, with the hope that it helps you navigate this difficult time. I had a wonderful pregnancy with my son in 2020; however, the pregnancy ended in an emergency (not so much an emergency) c-section. Following that pregnancy, I got pregnant in January 2022, which resulted in a miscarriage (I know itโ€™s not exactly what you went through, but somewhat similar without the surgery aspect). After that I was desperate to get pregnant, which happened in 3 months. After 9 months of the scariest pregnancy you can imagine I had my daughter via very much emergency c-section (the placenta ruptured the moment they cut into me for the c-section). With these experiences, I can tell you that numbness more than likely isnโ€™t going away; but it does dulls or you get use to it overtime. The knot you have in one end is completely normal my did that both times and takes a really really long time to go away. Because of the rupture with my daughter my OB made a completely new c-section line. She did far better than my first c-section and I have had less numbness, it healed better, and looks better. So depending on how your surgeon did will affect those things to. Best of luck!!! Oh lastly try taking Mucinex the week you are ovulating that is how I got pregnant all three times. It really works and there are studies behind it.
  • Maggie, I love how real and open you are. Your indomitable spirit is inspiring and just makes me feel good. I wish you all your dreams come true.
  • You are so wonderful to share this information! Thank you so much โค
  • Dear Maggie. Thank you for sharing. Youโ€™re a very courageous person and I admire you โคโคโค
  • @eviesabo4871
    This was such a great video. I love that you talk about it all! Itโ€™s hard to talk about some of the things you open up about and I know you help so many people! Thanks for being awesome Maggie!!! โค
