Chances of giving birth with an ectopic pregnancy?

There is not enough room or environment for the healthy growth and delivery of a baby anywhere outside the womb. The fetus will not be able to develop normally. Most often, as the ectopic embryo starts to grow, it will burst the organ that contains it. While ectopic encompasses any organ outside of the womb, such as the opening of the cervix, etc., this is usually the fallopian tube (also known as a tubal pregnancy). Rupturing of an organ will cause bleeding, severe pain, and even death for the mother.

What are the chances of conceiving again after having two ectopic pregnancies and having one tube remove?

chances of pregnancy may still be high, but chances of another eptopic pregnancy may be higher. eptopic pregancies are mostly cause to tubal blockage etc. If you still have some type of tubal/introuteral issue you may end up pregnant in the same situation. this is something i would speak with your doctor about. Its best if you want to conceive to make sure you have no female issues that will create a problem like eptopic pregnancy. im sure you and your doctor can check it out and you can be pregnant and have a healthy baby in no time. best wishes! :)
