Pregnancy |
Two location pregnancy04/16/2007 |
can a women get pregnant in two location at once,like in the tube and the uterus?if so how does this condition happen and how is it treated,also is there a way to keep the normal one in the uterus?
You are describing a condition called heterotopic pregnancy. It is rare (1 in 20,000) but less so (1 in 150) if a woman is using fertility drugs. The treatment consists of removing he ectopic pregnancy and allowing the pregnancy in the uterus to develop normally.
