Ectopic Pregnancy - What is an Ectopic Pregnancy?
In a normal pregnancy the fertilised egg implants within your uterus. An ectopic pregnancy (sometimes called a tubal pregnancy) is a pregnancy that is developing outside your womb.
In most cases ectopic pregnancy occurs within your fallopian tube, but in some cases it can happen in your ovary, your cervix, the joint between your womb and one of your fallopian tubes (cornua) or even your abdomen.
Although rare, ectopic pregnancies occur in up to 1 per cent of all UK pregnancies.
