Yes. if a pregnancy has started outside the uterus it cannot survive and is extremely dangerous for the mother. Well, a baby cannot survive during an ectopic pregnancy. So the pregnancy will either be terminated or the baby will be lost before it is terminated.

∙ 11y agoAn ectopic pregnancy occurs when the baby starts to develop outside the womb (uterus), usually in the Fallopian tube. An ectopic pregnancy is a surgical emergency and cannot be "terminated" by any other means. NOTE: This is not a termination of a pregnancy-- that can only be deemed "termination" if the egg implants in the uterus.

The main problem with ectopic pregnancies is that they must usually be terminated. These happen when the fertilized egg lodges itself somewhere other than in the uterus, most often in the fallopian tubes.

If this course of action is not taken, then the developing fetus may break through the walls of the fallopian tubes, which could put the life of the mother in serious danger.

Do you need an ultrasound to tell if you have an ectopic pregnancy?
Yes, you do. An ectopic pregnancy is just like a "regular" pregnancy for the first few weeks. Everything feels the same. An ultrasound is done early in a pregnancy to check things out, and if a pregnancy is ectopic, a good ultrasound technician will be able to spot it. There is no other non-invasive way to discover an ectopic pregnancy, and because of the risks posed by an ectopic pregnancy, it is critical to discover it early - if in fact there is one. Ectopic pregnancies are invariably life-threatening events, and prenatal care is important for that and many other reasons.
