Ectopic Pregnancy

In ectopic pregnancy the fertilized egg implants itself out side the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes but sometimes in the cervix, abdomen or ovary wall. Ectopic pregnancies are usually picked up early now-a-days and you can be given an injection to stop the cells multiplying. It is rare to have to have the fallopian tube removed. Your risk of having an ectopic pregnancy is increased if your tubes are damaged.

Some symptoms are severe pains in the stomach or bleeding. You will be given and ultrasound and blood test to diagnose the problem.
