Yes it can happen, its called ectopic and it can be emotionally hard. I know someone who went through it and recovered well with timely care. If anyone suspects it, please dont delay seeing your gynac.
Yes thats an ectopic pregnancy, where it implants outside the uterus, usually in the tube. I went through one and it needs urgent medical care, it cannot continue safely. If you have sharp one sided pain or bleeding early on, please see a doctor right away.
My doctor explained ectopic pregnancies happen when the embryo settles outside the womb, most often the fallopian tube. They are detected by scan and hcg levels. It needs prompt treatment, so early checkups really matter.
