Pregnancy begins with a fertilized egg. Normally, the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy most often occurs in a fallopian tube, which carries eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. This type of ectopic pregnancy is called a tubal pregnancy.\u201d 2A<\/p><\/div><\/div><p><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><p><\/p><div id=\"el-2d95af50\" class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background el-2d95af50\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-2d95af50\"><p><\/p><div class=\"vce-text-block\"><div id=\"el-08f5d14d\" class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-08f5d14d\"><h3>HOW DO I PREPARE FOR AN ULTRASOUND?<\/h3><p>It is a good idea to wear loose fitting clothes for easy access to your abdomen when you come to Obria to have your ultrasound.\u00a0 It is recommended that you drink plenty of liquids (water) and try to not empty your bladder before the procedure.
