PHOTO: 8 Week Fetus From Ruptured Tubal Pregnancy

This eight-week-old fetus was extracted from a ruptured tubal pregnancy. The Crown-Rump Length and lack of defined digits suggests to me that it's 8 weeks LMP and not 8 weeks since fertilization.

PHOTO: Tubal Pregnancy at 26 Weeks

This is a picture of a highly unusual phenomenon: a baby who survived an ectopic tubal pregnancy up to 26 weeks. The authors of the journal article cited another article of a case of a tubal pregnancy that had survived up to 26 weeks. Normally tubal pregnancies rupture by 12 weeks if nothing is done.

The fallopian tube, with the baby, and the ovary was removed.

PHOTO: Tubal Pregnancy at 14 Weeks

This picture of a fetus who miraculously survived an ectopic tubal pregnancy to 14 weeks before the fallopian tube was removed to withdraw the child. (Normally the fallopian tube ruptures by the 12th week if nothing is done.)
