Ectopic pregnancy videos

Overview

An ectopic pregnancy happens when a fertilised egg implants outside the womb, most often in a fallopian tube.

Causes

Ectopic pregnancies are usually caused by something that blocks or slows the egg’s journey through the fallopian tube, such as scarring from an infection or surgery.

Symptoms

Signs of an ectopic pregnancy can include sharp tummy pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, and shoulder tip pain. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s important to get checked quickly.
