Is the probability of an ectopic pregnancy high during the first pregnancy?

Patient's question:

My wife's period seems to be delayed, it might be pregnancy. I want to know if the probability of ectopic pregnancy is high in the first pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Is there a high possibility of ectopic pregnancy in the first pregnancy? It's difficult to predict, but ectopic pregnancy has obvious symptoms, such as abdominal pain. So you can buy a pregnancy test kit for women about one to ten days after your period is delayed and test it at home. If there is no significant reaction in your abdomen, it should not be ectopic pregnancy. Women with ectopic pregnancy cannot tolerate it, and ectopic pregnancy requires timely surgery.
