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.
Symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy may include: 1  persistent and severe abdominal pain, usually on one side. 2  vaginal bleeding or spotting, commonly after the pain has started. 3  pain in your shoulder tip.  diarrhoea and 1  vomiting. feeling very faint and light-headed, and possibly fainting.
