Hi,

Thanks for the query.

I am sorry to say that there is no way that a fetus growing in any region other than the uterus can survive. This is because most ectopic pregnancies are found in Fallopian tubes (95%). Once the baby starts growing, the Fallopian tube will burst thus causing grave complications to the mother‘s health sometimes even death.


This occurs by first 3 months. Let her not take any risk and take the medications prescribed by her doctor. It is very XXXXXXX and life threatening.

It is very rare that an ectopic baby survives, that too if it present in abdominal region and not Fallopian region it survives. But your doctor would have done the scan and found the region beforehand and thus prescribed you tablets.


Hope I have answered your query. If you have no further follow ups please accept my answer.

Regards
