You can't prevent an ectopic pregnancy, but you can decrease certain risk factors. For example, limit your number of sexual partners and use a condom when you have sex to help prevent sexually transmitted diseases and reduce the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease.
If you've had an ectopic pregnancy, talk to your health care provider before conceiving again. When you become pregnant, your health care provider will carefully monitor your condition.
Coping and Support of Ectopic Pregnancy
Losing a pregnancy is devastating, even if you've only known about it for a few days. Recognize the loss, and give yourself time to grieve. Talk about your feelings and allow yourself to experience them fully. Lean on your partner, family and friends for support.
Many women who have ectopic pregnancies go on to have other, healthy pregnancies. If you choose to conceive again, seek your health care provider's advice. Early ultrasound imaging can offer reassurance that the pregnancy is developing normally.
