What is the shortest pregnancy that resulted in a healthy baby?
In a typical pregnancy that develops normally, a
fertilised egg moves through the fallopian tube toward the uterus, where it
implants and starts to grow. But in an ectopic pregnancy, the fertilised egg implants
outside of the uterus, usually attaching itself to the fallopian tube (but
occasionally to the ovary, cervix, or other places in the abdomen). These
cannot hold a growing embryo, so the pregnancy cannot progress. The chance of
an ectopic pregnancy occurring is relatively low, making up just 2 percent of
pregnancies. An ectopic pregnancy must be treated, and your doctor will discuss
and recommend the best options for you. Following are some of the causes,
risks, symptoms, and treatments for this condition.
