Ectopic pregnancy occurs at a rate of 19.7 cases per 1,000 pregnancies in North America and is a leading cause of maternal mortality in the first trimester. Greater awareness of risk factors and improved technology (biochemical markers and ultrasonography) allow ectopic pregnancy to be identified before the development of life-threatening events.
Very early in pregnancy, ectopic pregnancies seem like normal pregnancies. A woman may have a missed period, breast tenderness, fatigue, and nausea. Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy include. 1  severe abdominal pain on one side of the body. 2  cramps and spotting. 3  vaginal bleeding. 4  shoulder pain. 5  nausea and vomiting. 6  fainting spells or dizziness.
