Unfortunately, not often. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg is implanted outside the womb, but there have been babies, in extremely rare situations, where a healthy baby has been born. Most recently a baby weighing 6 pounds 2 oz. was born in Australia, the sonogram that was done mid-way through the pregnancy did not reveal the ectopic pregnancy. The doctors did not know until they started the cesarean. Most cases do not end this way, and the mother and baby's life can be at risk.

Can the sex of the baby be determined during a ectopic pregnancy?

In an ectopic pregnancy, the embryo implants outside the uterus, most commonly in a fallopian tube. Since the embryo is not developing in the uterus, where sex determination typically occurs through ultrasound and other methods, it is not possible to determine the sex of the baby in an ectopic pregnancy. Furthermore, ectopic pregnancies are not viable, meaning they do not result in a live birth.
