Can an intrauterine pregnancy become ectopic?

Patient's question:

I am pregnant now, and I feel particularly upset about the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. Can an intrauterine pregnancy turn into an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

If after a thorough ultrasound examination, it has been confirmed that the pregnancy is normal within the uterus, there will be no risk of ectopic pregnancy again in this case. Ectopic pregnancy usually occurs when the fertilized egg fails to implant in the uterus and instead attaches and develops in another location, most commonly in the fallopian tubes. Don't overthink it now, relax, get plenty of rest, and focus on improving your diet to support the healthy growth and development of the fetus.
