In 2008, an Australian woman gave birth to a baby girl who was ectopic. “We feel so blessed to have three beautiful children and it meant to much that they were there to help celebrate our very special day.”Įctopic pregnancies often mean death for mother or her unborn child, but LifeNews has documented several other cases of babies and moms surviving the tragic diagnosis.

When an ectopic pregnancy occurs, the developing baby can sometimes implant in an area that adversely affects a woman’s blood vessels and causes bleeding that could become life threatening to her. Most ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tube, but implantation can also occur in the cervix, ovaries and abdomen. In January 2013, when she discovered that she was pregnant again, doctors gave her more devastating news: she was suffering from another ectopic pregnancy that was endangering her life.Īn ectopic pregnancy involves situations where the developing unborn child implants into tissue other than the uterine wall, where a baby normally develops during pregnancy.
