Very rarely: Instead of implanting in the uterus the embryo has implanted in the fallopian tubes.

Not without killingU: The typical answer is: ectopic pregnancy fetuses cannot survive without killing or threatening the life of the mother. Extremely rare cases of abdominal pregnancy that reach fetal viability without killing the mother have been described more as exceptions that confirm the rule. If you have an ectopic pregnancy do not think about it twice: remove it before it kills you!

No: Visualize this scene.A person has an ectopic pregnancy which must develop a large blood supply from surrounding tissue.Since the surroundings are not designed to support a pregnancy, the ectopic eventually grows too big & tears away from the tissues leading to massive internal bleeding.Unless recognized quickly & the bleeding stopped (emergency surgery), mom & baby are dead within minutes to hours

A rare abdominal one: Rare abdominal ectopic pregnancies have been very rarely reported to be viable. Those that implant in other locations like the tubes, the ovaries, the cervix or in Cesarian scars do not "survive".
