how can one tell if she has a tubal pregnacy?

Question

Answer 1

Ectopic pregnancy can be difficult to diagnose because symptoms often mirror those of a normal early pregnancy. These can include missed periods, breast tenderness, nausea, vomiting, or frequent urination.

Pain is usually the first red flag. You might feel pain in your pelvis, abdomen, or, in extreme cases, even your shoulder or neck (if blood from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy builds up and irritates certain nerves). Most women describe the pain as sharp and stabbing. It may concentrate on one side of the pelvis, and it may come and go or vary in intensity.

Any of the following additional symptoms can suggest an ectopic pregnancy:
vaginal spotting or bleeding
dizziness or fainting (caused by blood loss)
low blood pressure (also caused by blood loss)
lower back pain

Answer 2

Major pain is the biggest clue. One should call her doctor and the doctor will probably schedule an ultrasound. If it is discovered to be a tubal pregnancy, the common procedure than is to end the pregnancy. If it is not caught in time, the tube will rupture, and that will cause death to the mother.

Answer 3

The pain is will be really really bad, you wont wait to be recommended to go to a doctor
