- * Ectopic pregnancies occur when implantation occurs outside of the uterus.
- Occurs in 1-2% of all pregnancies.
- Often occurs in the uterine tube when blastocyst transport is impaired.
- Can also occur within the abdominopelvic cavity.
- An ectopic pregnancy poses serious danger to the woman, particularly because its rupture leads to internal bleeding.
