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.

High Risk Factors for Ectopic Pregnancy. 1  Previous ectopic pregnancy - Women who have had one ectopic pregnancy are around 17 times more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy than a woman who has not had an ectopic pregnancy. Abnormal fallopian tubes - Anatomical abnormalities of the fallopian tubes can make implantation in the tubes much more likely than in women without tubal abnormalities.
