Where is the fertilization of the baby takes place?

Answer 1

The fertilization of an egg cell by a sperm cell takes place, in normal pregnancies, in the woman's uterus. The fertilized egg then implants into the wall of the uterus and begins to grow there until it is time to deliver the baby. In some circumstances, however, the sperm might find the egg before the egg reaches the uterus, and the egg may be fertilized in the fallopian tube. Often, an egg fertilized in the fallopian tube will continue its path to the uterus and implant normally. It is possible, though, that the egg will implant in the fallopian tube and become an ectopic pregnancy. If not caught early, this complication can cause problems for both mother and baby.
