According to the NHS<\/a> website, an ectopic pregnancy<\/strong> is when a fertilised egg has implanted itself out of the womb. The most common place is one of the fallopian tubes (tube connecting the ovaries to the womb). But it can also attach itself to the abdominal cavity or cervix. When an egg becomes stuck in a fallopian tube, it, unfortunately, won’t develop into a baby and it can become serious to your health.
