Ectopic pregnancies, sometimes called "tubal pregnancies" are when the fetus is growing in the wrong place.

A fetus should take root in the uterus, where it can grow safely. If it gets stuck elsewhere, that's an ectopic.

It's super common - 1 in 50 pregnancies! Image

many women have no idea that their pregnancy is ectopic.

One day, they have abdominal pain and/or vaginal bleeding, and they go to the ER - and an ultrasound confirms it. It's a serious emergency that ER providers see ALL THE TIME.

Every damn day, really.
