Woman suffers 'pain in the bum' ectopic pregnancy that baffles surgeons

dailystar.co.uk:

Dr Michael Narvey used his TikTok to describe the bizarre case of a 32-year-old woman who already had a child and became pregnant for a second time."Doctors did an ultrasound and couldn't find the pregnancy in the uterus," Dr Michael says."They went to the length of actually doing a laparoscopic surgery looking for the pregnancy – because they figure it's probably an ectopic – but they couldn't find it."At seven weeks they repeated the HCG (hormonal pregnancy) test which was rising, meaning this mother was indeed pregnant, but where was the pregnancy?"A CT scan found the 2cm foetus planted on the side of the mother's rectum."Ectopic pregnancies can give you a pain in the rectum, but this really was pain in the rectum due to a pregnancy attached to the rectum," says Dr Michael.The foetus had to be removed to save the mother's life because there was no way it could develop in that position outside of the womb.Since it was uploaded on Friday (March 25) the video has been "liked" 10,000 times and people in the comments said they were relieved the mother was ok.One user said: "Wow!

with modern medicine, women don't die as often like we use to during pregnancy and childbirth. Imagine this happened 100 years ago?"A second wrote: "The pain of ectopic pregnancy is something I wouldn’t wish to even my enemy.
