NCP for Anxiety related to Ectopic Pregnancy

Ectopic Pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that develops outside the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. Symptoms can include cramping, abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Pain may be caused by a ruptured tube, which is a medical emergency needing immediate surgery. Treatment for non-emergency ectopic pregnancy can include medication or surgery.

The symptoms of ectopic pregnancy can include:
  • the usual signs of pregnancy, such as amenorrhoea (missed period), morning sickness and breast tenderness
  • pain in the lower abdomen
  • pain in the lower back
  • cramps on one side of the pelvis
  • vaginal bleeding or spotting
  • sudden and severe pain in the lower abdomen (if the fallopian tube ruptures).
