What are symptoms of a tubal pregnancy?

Answer 1

The symptoms of a tubal pregnancy include: vaginal bleeding and or cramping in the lower abdomen (especially on one side) during the first trimester. Those who are most at risk for tubal pregnancies are: if you have had abdominal surgery, pelvic inflammatory disease, women who are over the age of 35, pregnancy after a tubal reversal, having an IUD or having tubal ligation and becoming pregnant. It is important to contact your doctor immediately if you feel you might be experiencing a tubal pregnancy. If the embryo continues to develop inside the tube, the tube can rupture and you can bleed to death. If an ectopic or tubal pregnancy is recognized, doctors generally like to terminated the pregnancy so that it lowers the risk of harm to the mother because the fetus cannot survive anyway.
