Ectopic pregnancy early symptoms and warning signs to never ignore ?
3 months ago
I’ve heard ectopic pregnancy can be life-threatening if not treated on time. What are the earliest symptoms one should never ignore, especially in the first 6 to 7 weeks of pregnancy?

Yes, ectopic pregnancy can be dangerous if delayed. The earliest warning signs often include sharp or one-sided lower abdominal pain, spotting or bleeding that is unusual for early pregnancy, and sometimes shoulder tip pain or feeling faint and dizzy. These symptoms appear when the tube stretches or bleeds internally. Any woman with a positive pregnancy test and these complaints in the first weeks should get checked immediately with an ultrasound and blood tests. Early detection makes treatment safer and helps preserve fertility.
