That’s when she found the baby, growing inside my fallopian tube. It was, she informed me, an ectopic pregnancy. I didn’t know what the words meant. She explained that the baby was growing not in my uterus, but in the fallopian tube, which delivers the egg. And because it was so far along, I had to go straight into emergency surgery. The tube could rupture at any moment, causing life-threatening internal bleeding.
