there is nothing special that you should or should not do at this point, there is no need to start taking prenatal pills, no need to stop smoking, no need to stop drinking alcohol...you have to go and see your dr right away!!!! basically the dr will terminate your pregnancy in a matter of days, or this will become life threatening to you... the egg has implanted in your fallopian tube, not where it should be. and if the embryo continues to grow, it will rupture your tube, which can be potentially fatal...when the time comes where it will be terminated your Dr will advise you on what type of activities you should not do, such a taking a bath, swimming, using tampons, having sex, douching...etc. After the precedure take it easy, then when you can resume sexual activities you can try again when you are ready...im sorry for you loss...i wish you the best of luck

You HAVE TO HAVE some sort of surgery when you have an ectopic pregnancy. That means it's in your tube or somewhere else besides your uterus. This is a VERY serios thing and can cause a rupture of the fallopian tube and internal bleeding. Women die from this. I had one this last February and had to have emergency surgery to remove the embryo, and then they had to remove my fallopian tube because it was damaged. Get to a new doctor A.S.A.P. SERIOUSLY. That is NOT something to fool around with. I was 7wks when they found my ectopic and it was close to bursting. Don't worry about what you're eating or anything like that. The embryo has NO chance of survival anyways, and there's nothing your body can do on it's own to get rid of the embryo, it's not going to automatically miscarry it!!!!!!!!! You have to have it surgically removed. Get to a doctor now it CAN kill you!

An ectopic pregnancy, also known as a tubal pregnancy, is when the baby never travels down to the uterus and stays in the fallopian tubes. The baby has to be surgically removed immediately before the tubes explode, killing both the baby and the mother, unfortunately, there's no way to save the baby.

Sadly to say most people that get a ectopic pregnancy, aren't able to keep the baby, below is a website that tell you all about it. Just make sure after miscarrying you give your body time to heal before getting pregnant again.

you need to go to the er and make sure that you aren't ruptured i had an etopic pregnancy and didn't find out till i was 6 weeks along almost died cuz the pregnancy test was neg 2 weeks prior but you need to get it taken out and make sure you have an ultrasound so you can see yourself that this baby will not survive

Ummm I was under the impression that your fallopian tube could burst if you let it continue. Usually you have to get surgery to get rid of an etopic pregnancy.

well if you are going to have a miscarrage then you don't have to take care of the baby it is not going to make it the faster it comes out the better!!! you want it out as soon as you can it ir risky but if you eat right for the baby you can have a part of it still growing in you and youcoule have a still born child!! it could happen and it happens alot! so just eat normally and you will not have a problen!

you need to be sure that you and your doctor stay in close contact,. it could very serious if the pregnancy continues for very long. it could rupture your tube. and thus make for a difficult time next time around.
very sorry.
oh and are they certain? did they take an ultrasound to determine? it could be that it isn't. maybe get a second opinion, until then i would take care of yourself just as if you are pregnant.
good luck, take care.
