An ectopic pregnancy affects 1 in 80 pregnancies. The embryo has implanted itself outside the uterus and the internal ruptures caused by its growth, in places such as fallopian tubes, can cause life threatening internal bleeding in the woman.
The charity, Ectopic Pregnancy Ireland, works to raise awareness about the condition, and to give women and families information and support. Their website has medical information, but also their own personal stories of the impact an ectopic pregnancy had in their own and their family's life.
Dealing with an ectopic pregnancy is a medical issue, but can also be emotionally devastating for women and their families. Ectopic Pregnancy Ireland offers plenty of support for women or their families, who have questions or need understanding for their situation.
The charity was started by women that had gone through one or several ectopic pregnancies, and wanted to help others in the same situation. For more information, help and support, visit Ectopic Pregnancy Ireland.
