What are signs of an ectopic pregnancy?

5 doctors weighed in across 4 answers

Pain and bleeding: The classic signs of an ectopic pregnancy are pelvic pain (usually worse on one side), and spotting in early pregnancy. If you suspect that you might have an ectopic pregnancy, see a doctor right away so that s/he can determine where your pregnancy is growing and if there is a problem. Ectopic pregnancies can be treated without surgery if found early enough, but can be life-threatening otherwise.

Well,: Usually you have the normal signs of pregnancy: morning sickness, tender breasts and missed period. Ectopic pregnancy could manifest with vaginal bleeding but the usually the presenting symptom is severe abdominal pain due the tubal rupture and bleeding in abdominal cavity. If severe one can go in shock as well, depending of the bleeding. This is usually a medical emergency!

Pain and bleeding: Some women do not have any symptoms at all. Typically women will miss their scheduled period, have some spotting, a positve pregnancy test and have pain in their abdomen. If you are concerned you have an ectopic, you should call your provider right away, as this can be emergent.
