"An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus.
An ectopic pregnancy most often occurs in a fallopian tube, which carries eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. This type of ectopic pregnancy is called a tubal pregnancy. Sometimes, an ectopic pregnancy occurs in other areas of the body, such as the o***y, abdominal cavity or the lower part of the uterus (cervix), which connects to the va**na.
An ectopic pregnancy can't proceed normally. The fertilized egg can't survive, and the growing tissue may cause life-threatening bleeding, if left untreated."(Info by Mayo Clinic)
Ectopic pregnancies can be life threatening. If you experience any of the following symptoms (after having a positive pregnancy test) seek emergency care immediately!
-Severe pain in your abdomen or va**na
-Bleeding
-Lightheadedness or fainting
-Shoulder pain (we know this sounds odd, but trust us... it's serious!)
