The most joyous time in a woman’s life, her pregnancy, can turn to a nightmare due to pregnancy complications like tubal pregnancy. It occurs when the fertilized egg gets implemented in some other part of the body instead of the uterus.

Reasons For Tubal Pregnancy

In normal pregnancy, the egg after being released from the ovaries resides in the fallopian tube where it gets fertilized. The fertilized egg i.e. the zygote then travels to the uterus where it attaches itself and grows into a baby in nine months. But sometime this fails to happen, and after fertilization the zygote attaches itself to the fallopian tube and in some extreme cases it can grow in the abdomen, cervix or the ovaries. If it grows in the fallopian tube, which is not made to sustain a foetus, the tube ruptures causing haemorrhage to the mother. If not detected in time, it can lead to death. If it starts growing in some other body part, the body treats it like a tumour which also create medical emergency.
