Ectopic Pregnancy: What It IsArticle By Angela Kerevarah, CNMAn ectopic pregnancy happens when the cluster of cells that will grow into the baby becomes embedded somewhere outside the womb. gender of baby Chinese gender charts. In 95 per cent of cases this will be in one of the tubes (Fallopian tubes) that link the ovaries to the womb. The embryo continues to develop, but the tube cannot stretch to allow it to grow. If the embryo is in the widest part of the tube, at the end, blood will start to leak out through the end. gender of baby Gender-test. If it's in the narrow part, the tube will burst. This is a serious medical emergency. What are the Signs?In the early stages, an ectopic pregnancy produces signs no different from those of a normal pregnancy - missed periods, tender breasts and so on. gender of baby Babies. The major difference is that an ectopic pregnancy eventually - usually between 6-10 weeks - causes pain in the lower abdomen, usually on one side, which may be accompanied by dark brown bleeding. If you experience pain, with or without bleeding, consult your doctor right away. If you have severe pain, especially if you also feel dizzy or faint, go very pale, and your pulse rate becomes very fast, it's possible that you have an ectopic pregnancy that has burst a Fallopian tube. This is an emergency, and you'll need to be taken to hospital immediately. Course of TreamentAn ectopic pregnancy isn't always easy to diagnose, especially if there's only slight, or no, bleeding. The first thing the doctor is likely to do if you're experiencing pain is to examine you internally. If the diagnosis still isn't clear you may need to have an ultrasound scan. In some cases, further tests may be needed to confirm the diagnosis. The usual treatment for an ectopic pregnancy is for it to be removed under a general anaesthetic. The tube may have to be removed too, although this isn't always necessary. In some cases, if the ectopic pregnancy is identified early enough, it may be possible to treat it using an injection to destroy the cells rather than by an operation. What are the Causes?Sometimes an ectopic pregnancy occurs for no apparent reason. There's a greater risk of it happening if you've had a previous infection in your tubes, or surgery on them, or if you've been using an IUD for contraception. Will it Affect My Changes of Conceiving Again?If you have to have one of your tubes removed for an ectopic pregnancy, as long as the remaining one is healthy, there's no reason for you not to have another normal pregnancy in the future, though it may take longer to conceive. And having one ectopic pregnancy doesn't make it any more likely that you'll have another.
