I've created 2 threads in the last month about "is my girl pregnant" and so forth. Well we broke up a little over a week ago and just last monday we went to the hospital and found out she is pregnant! I'm going to be a daddy! *tear* well this is what my new question is about. She's been pregnant 2 times before a couple years back and lost the baby each time. This time though, she's having bad pains in her stomach and her urine has a greenish tent to it. She said she talked to a lady she know's who works at the hospital and the lady said that the baby could be in her fallopian tubes (i think thats how you spell that, correct me if i'm wrong) which means she will have to have surgery to remove the baby.

How likely is it for the baby to be in her tubes? And what about the wierd colored urine or the massive stomach pains, which she did not have during her other 2 times being pregnant?

Thats called an eptopic (sp) pregnancy if the baby is in her tubes. Ive been hearing soo much about this since ive been pregnant. I guess they are pretty common. However, theres nothing you can do about them and the baby has to be removed before her tubes rupture. She needs to get to a doc asap and find out!

I don't know anything about green urine being a sign of an ectopic pregnancy, but it *is* a sign of infection. Along with the pain she's having, it's possible she has a urinary tract infection. An ectopic is possible too (who am I to say it isn't?) but my first guess would be an infection.

One way or another, she needs to see a doctor quickly (like, yesterday) to get it checked out. If the baby's in her tube, it will rupture if you wait too long. She could lose that tube, which will affect her future ability to have children. And if it's an infection, it will only get worse without treatment.

Just wanted to add- not to scare you or anything, that if she does have an ectopic pregnancy, &she waits too long to see a doctor, &the tube ruptures, it could be fatal from the internal bleeding. Please have her go get it checked out, like right now! Good luck, &let us know!
