Ectopic Pregnancy is a life threatening EMERGENCY

The expected home of a fertilized egg that becomes a baby is the womb

For different reasons,some of these fertilized eggs(babies) never make it to the womb

Any pregnancy outside the womb is an ECTOPIC

In ectopics, pregnancy can stay in the woman's tube, ovaries, lining of/within any part of the tummy etc

As the pregnancy grows, it becomes bigger than the space it is occupying & can rupture/burst leading the severe blood loss or death of the women in some cases.

This is why EARLY Ultrasound scan is a MUST for every pregnant woman so the location of pregnancy can be confirmed.

If picked early, life saving management can start.
