Symptoms Of An Ectopic Pregnancy

Dizziness

Dreamstime

If you experience dizziness during pregnancy, this can be a symptom of an ectopic pregnancy. While this symptom could be explained away by anemia, an insufficient amount of sleep, or from not eating enough in general, it is possible fainting and dizziness can occur from internal bleeding. This happens when one of the fallopian tubes ruptures from the growth of the egg, resulting in hemorrhage, and additional symptoms like pale, clammy skin and palpitations. Whether you feel faint or not at this point, if you're feeling these symptoms, seek immediate help. Internal bleeding can cause the mother's blood pressure to drastically drop, and she may experience fatigue or shortness of breath. In the emergency room, a rapid urine test first confirms the pregnancy, and then a quantitative hCG test examines the urine for a placental hormone. If it tests positive, then it would appear an ectopic pregnancy has occurred; it is imperative to treat this before it harms the mother.
