An abdominal pregnancy can result from a uterine rupture. Abdominal pregnancy is an ectopic pregnancy. It happens when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, such as on tissues or an organ in a woman’s abdominal cavity. Abdominal pregnancy is treacherous for the mother and the unborn child. If the placenta detaches from abdominal tissue or an organ, the mother is at risk for internal bleeding. The dangers for the baby include no amniotic sac protection and not getting enough nutrients and blood for healthy fetal development.
