Someone who had an ectopic pregnancy is at higher risk for another in the future, but many women go on to have a uterine pregnancy after ectopic.
Women with an ectopic pregnancy have different experiences. Some women may feel the baby moving at a certain period of the development, while others may not at all. Women would need to have a surgery in order to remove an ectopic pregnancy because of health risks.

Yes, women can have pregnancy symptoms during an ectopic pregnancy. The hormones produced by the mother and the embryo are the same.
The IUD reduces the risk of all kinds of pregnancy, so an ectopic is less likely in women who use the IUD than in women who are not using birth control. However, among pregnancies occurring with the IUD in place, a greater ''proportion'' are ectopic than pregnancies among women not using birth control.
Proper prenatal care is the best prevention for obstetrical emergencies. When complications of pregnancy do arise, pregnant women who see their OB/GYN on a regular basis are more likely to get an early diagnosis, and with it, the best chance.
Symptoms of ectopic: It can be hard to tell if you are experiencing an ectopic pregnancy because so many women don't even know they're pregnant at the time they would notice any symptoms of an ectopic. Some symptoms of tubal pregnancy such as a missed menstrual period and vaginal bleeding or spotting two weeks later are similar to the early signs of pregnancy. About 1 in 2 women who are experiencing a tubal pregnancy notice abdominal pain on one side or the other. 1 in 3 women feel light-headed and about 1 in 5 have shoulder pain on the same side as the stomach pain.
Obstetrical equipment is used by obstetricians. This includes using ultrasounds when treating pregnant women and using forceps on women who are in labour.
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilised egg attaches itself outside the cavity of the uterus (womb). The majority of ectopic pregnancies are found in the Fallopian tubes. In rare cases, the egg attaches itself in one of the ovaries, the cervix (neck of the womb) or another organ within the pelvis. An ectopic pregnancy is not usually capable of surviving and in most instances an embryo is not developed. An ectopic pregnancy will spontaneously miscarry. The majority of women diagnosed will have to be operated on or treated with medication.
