Ectopic Pregnancy
Pain or cramping on one side of a woman's pelvis may be an early sign of an ectopic pregnancy, a pregnancy in which the fertilized egg grows in a fallopian tube. Other symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding and low back pain.
As the pregnancy progresses, the fallopian tube may burst, causing sudden, severe abdominal pain, weakness, dizziness and fainting. If an ectopic pregnancy is detected early, a physician will end the pregnancy using medications or surgery.8‘Ectopic Pregnancy.’ ACOG, www.acog.org/womens-health/faqs/ectopic-pregnancy
