| Ectopic Pregnancies - Worst Nightmare
Ectopic pregnancies are sometimes difficult to diagnose. An ectopic pregnancy is suspected if a woman has symptoms of a late menses, irregular vaginal bleeding, or abdominal pain. Shoulder pain and a feeling of rectal pressure is also associated with ectopic pregnancy. However, some women have no symptoms (other than those of pregnancy), making the diagnosis difficult at times.
What is an ectopic pregnancy?
If a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, it's called an ectopic pregnancy. One in 50 pregnancies ends this way.
Here's how it happens: After conception, the fertilized egg travels down your fallopian tube on its way to your uterus. If the tube is damaged or blocked and fails to propel the egg toward your womb, the egg may become implanted in the tube and continue to develop there. Because almost all ectopic pregnancies occur in one of the fallopian tubes, they're often called "tubal" pregnancies.

After months (and years) of curtailing pregnancy rumors, Nicole Kidman is finally pregnant. The actress� publicist confirmed Monday night that Nicole and her husband, country singer Keith Urban, are expecting their first child. The couple have recently been very open about their desire to have children. Last fall, Nicole told Vanity Fair that she�s �yearning for one,� while also revealing to the magazine that she suffered a miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy during her marriage to Tom Cruise (they later adopted two children Isabella, 15, and Connor, 12). Janelle Kidman, Nic�s mother, told the Sydney Morning Herald that her daughter is expecting around the month of July. It�s likely that the actress� famous frozen face will finally start to see some movement soon since you shouldn�t get botox while you�re pregnant.
