Pregnant With No Uterus? Posted: 10-06-07 21:52pm


I have a co-worker who swears her sister in law had a hysterectomy a few years ago, but is now pregnant. I didn't want to tell her she was nuts, so I just smiled and played along. I'm not wrong, am I? This couldn't be possible, could it?

YES, it could happen. It is a condition called an "Abdominal ECTOPIC pregnancy". IF you still have your ovaries intact, you can still become pregnant, even though it is EXTREMELY RARE. This can happen, and is usually very very dangerous for the womans health.

A pregnancy without a uterus is not a sustainable pregnancy and can result in death for the woman. After the fatfamily story, I researched and could not find any instances where this was successful. Please let us know if your friend's sister has a successful pregnancy/delivery so we can read the news reports on the miracle.

the actual chances of that happening are insanely rare. If her story is true we should see her on TLC soon.
