Is it in anyway possible to have an eptopic pregnancy and actually deliver the baby?

Question

May seem like a stupid question, but I just want to know if there is even the slightest chance.

Answer 1

I was actually watching something on the learning channel where a woman was pregnant with triplets, one of them was an ectopic. The tube actually burst, and there was some bleeding, but not enough like a miscarriage. She went to the hospital for the pain and they found nothing to be wrong, just that she was carrying twins...she thought she was only having one at the time. At a later ultrasound, she found out that she was having triplets, but the ectopic pregnancy had moved to her stomach cavity and actually survived but they had to do a c-section to remove all three. That case was extremely rare though, and aside from that once case I heard of, ectopics don't survive and unfortunately they can't be transplanted from the fallopian tube to the uterus.

Answer 2

No, even a viable ectopic fetus cannot be saved. About 25% of all ectopic pregnancies resolve themselves before a pregnancy has even been confirmed. When the diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy is made, the treatment options need to be considered. In some situations, emergency surgery is required to control internal bleeding. If, however, the diagnosis is made early in the pregnancy and prior to tubal rupture, medical management is an alternative.

If it is discovered in the unruptured state, a drug called Methotrexate (which prevents the rapid division of cells in the early pregnancy) can be injected (one or more times). This treatment requires close monitoring of HCG levels in the blood. Methotrexate treatment may not be suitable for all patients. HCG levels are then carefully monitored to ensure that they fall appropriately. The HCG level should return to zero in approximately four weeks. Side effects (diarrhea, mild irritation of the mouth or stomach, elevated liver enzymes) occur in about 4% percent of women treated with Methotrexate. Methotrexate may fail to resolve the ectopic pregnancy, and tubal rupture may occur. However, with careful monitoring, rupture may be avoided. The advantages of Methotrexate therapy include less tubal damage, less expense, and an increase in the possibility of future fertility.

Answer 3

No, because an ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tubes. A growing fetus probably wouldn't grow past 7 weeks before the tubes would rupture, possibly causing the mother to hemorrhage.

Answer 4

an ectopic is a pregnancy which develops outside the uterus. it may develop in the fallopian tubes, ovary or anywhere in abdoman. the ovary releases the ovum which is then fertilized by sperm inside the tube. when this pregnancy does not travel beyond the tube, tubal pregnancy occurs. sometimes the ovum gets fertilized in the ovary itself and an ovarian pregnancy occurs. now an ectopic pregnancy is limited by blood flow and area for growth. you can now understand why tubal pregnancies rupture during early pregnancies. now there is a small gap between ovary and tubal ends called fimbriae. the purpose of fimbriae is to pick up ova. sometimes the ovum is not picked by fimbriae and the ovum escapes into abdominal cavity. now what happens that after sex, there's a possibility of sperms shooting into uterus, then through tubes and into abdominal cavity. that's the mechanism of abdominal pregnancy. these sperms fertilize the ovum which has been released into abdominal cavity. now inside abdoman there's no limiting factor of growth restriction due to lack of space. now remains the question of placental blood flow. if the placenta attaches itself to major organs like liver or omentum (fat layer), the other limiting factor of blood supply gets nullified and you have a successful abdominal pregnancy. this abdominal pregnancy can reach upto 28 weeks or sometimes more without the obstetrician or the sonologist able to diagnose it. if diagnosed at a later date, say at 28-30 weeks the fetus has by then reached lung maturity or a period of viability. the baby can be removed by surgery and sent to intensive care. there are such reports where such procedures have been carried out in advanced undiagnosed abdominal pregnancies. hopefully i was able to explain properly. thanx.

Answer 5

i really hate to tell you this, but as far as i know, there is no way to have an eptopic pregnancy, that is a pregnancy in your fallopian tubes and there is no way that can happen....i am so sorry.

Answer 6

i don't think so. if you experience an eptopic pregnancy you should be worried about them taking care of this before you have any damage. If not cough early it could cause many many problem

Answer 7

no because it needs to be in the uterus to develop. Most of the time ectopic pregnancy are in the Fallopian tubes and if not treated it can burst and kill the mother.

Answer 8

No chance at all and if your tube does rupture it would grately decrease your chance of a future pregnancy.

Answer 9

No. As the baby grew, the fallopian tube would rupture and mother and baby would likely both die.

Answer 10

40 weeks, I was induced 2 days before and still didnt have my son until his due date. 38 & 39 weeks were HELL for walking, actually doing anything at all. I just wanted to sleep and I was anxious and ready to have my child.
