My sister in law has been diagnosed with an Abdominal Pregnancy. The ultrasound showed an embryo implanted on the outside of her uterus. They are making her wait a week to see what happens before she gets anymore tests. Has anyone ever heard of this? Can the baby survive outside the uterus?I have read some articles citing the live birth of a fetus implanted in the abdomen. I can't find much on ectpoic pregnancies that are NOT in the Fallopian tubes. Help please?
Answer:
they usually end up aborting the pregnancy. the baby can't survive outside the uterus. they will make you wait to be certain the baby IS in fact outside the uterine wall.
I must say I am a bit surprised that her dr isn't taking a more immediate approach to dealing with the situation. It is life-threatening for your sister-in-law.
there was a special on this on tlc a couple weeks ago. this woman was pregnant with triplets, 2 inside the uterus and one who's placenta attached to her stomach. all babies were born happy and healthy, although the surgery was risky to baby and mother. however, this was a RARE case
Wow. I JUST saw a show about this on either TLC or Discovery Health. A woman had triplets and one baby was in the abdomen. All three survived.
I have never heard of it. I think u may be trying to say ectopic?
