Can you have a normal pregnancy in the womb and an ectopic pregnancy at the same time?
This kind of pregnancy is called a heterotopic pregnancy and they are very very very rare. I found out I was pregnant in March 2008 and they didn't find out I had a heterotpic pregnancy until May when I had my right tube removed after it burst.
Like I said though it is VERY rare so it's not something a normally healthy woman needs to worry about.
If you want to know the risk factors just Google them. I found everything I needed to answer my questions once I knew what the pregnancy was called.
Good luck!
I just had an emergency c-section as I had a uterine and ectopic pregnancy. I was having severe shoulder pain and what I thought were braxton hicks contraction for months. I made it to 30 weeks unaware that I had an ectopic pregnancy. I had ultrasounds, blood work and all the work ups but the Dr. never saw the ectopic pregnancy. I had my fallopian tube rupture and nearly died from the blood loss. My uternie pregnancy survived at 30 weeks but the path report showed an 8-10 week ectopic pregnancy in the ruptured fallopian tube. My dr. went back and looked at the orignal ultrasound and didnt find an ectopic pregnancy at that time. So I got pregnant several months after already being pregnant. The Dr's had never seen this and said it is extremly rare and that most ruptured fallopian tubes kill the mother. Had it happened weeks earlier both myself and my little boy would have died. So, the answer is yes this can happen as I am living proof.
