Symptoms Of An Ectopic Pregnancy

Sharp Cramps In The Abdomen

Because the areas where ectopic eggs end up have no room for growth compared to the uterus, they will burst once the embryo begins to get bigger. In most cases, an ectopic pregnancy is asymptomatic, with any symptoms that do appear seeming similar to a typical pregnancy. However, experiencing sharp cramps in the abdomen is a known symptom of an ectopic pregnancy, so it's always worth heading to the doctor. This type of pain may come on suddenly and may also come with nausea, or it could feel like a dull pain that begins mildly in intervals, especially when using the restroom, during energetic activity, or during a cough. You may also experience pain in the shoulder while laying down; this is another symptom that more specifically points towards an ectopic pregnancy. Shoulder pain appears to happen when internal bleeding has begun, so seek immediate help.
