3. I had an ectopic pregnancy and almost died

I was standing in line at a bank (1979ish) in NYC and all of a sudden I felt this horrible pain and fainted. They called an ambulance and I was taken to the nearest hospital. Since it was just a faint, they put me on a gurney and left me in a hallway. After about 30 minutes of waiting I looked at my stomach and saw that it was ballooning. Gigantic. I screamed and pointed at it. All hell broke loose. They took me to surgery and put me under.

When I woke up I was told I had an ectopic pregnancy. They removed the Eustachian tube it was stuck in and sewed me back up.

I was damn lucky. I did not know I was pregnant.
