A member asked:
In an ectopic pregnancy surgery treatment, is there any possibility that the baby (fetus) will try to breathe on its own, when it's being removed?

No: Rarely ectopic pregnancy will go that far if it was missed for any reason the location on the tube will make it rupture and that cause severe pain and bleeding that could be lethal . If it was discovered early they usually try medication to aborted if not successful they go for surgery . In my opinion they never grow enough to be a live fetus that able to take s breath

Not unless you're 6m: Not unless you're 6 months pregnant. Baby fetuses can't naturally breathe before then (they're not developed enough yet), no matter what movements their tiny muscles do.
