Fetal Viability

Ectopic Pregnancy

Pregnancy begins with a fertilized egg. Normally, the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity 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. Sometimes, an ectopic pregnancy occurs in other areas of the body, such as the ovary, abdominal cavity or the lower part of the uterus (cervix), which connects to the vagina.

An ectopic pregnancy can't proceed normally. The fertilized egg can't survive, and the growing tissue may cause life-threatening bleeding, if left untreated. Treatment for ectopic pregnancy is methotrexate, an oral medication. If that does not work a salpingectomy will be performed

Miscarriage Pregnancy

Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week.

Threatened Miscarriage

If you're bleeding but your cervix hasn't begun to dilate, there is a threat of miscarriage. Such pregnancies often proceed without any further problems.

Incomplete Miscarriage

If you pass fetal or placental material but some remains in your uterus, it's considered an incomplete miscarriage. Treatment- Methotrexate, an oral medication or Dilation and Curettage (D&C).

Missed Miscarriage

In a missed miscarriage, the placental and embryonic tissues remain in the uterus, but the embryo has died or was never formed. Treatment-Methotrexate, an oral medication or Dilation and Curettage (D&C).

Complete Miscarriage

If you have passed all the pregnancy tissues, it's considered a complete miscarriage. This is common for miscarriages occurring before 12 weeks.

Septic Miscarriage

If you develop an infection in your uterus, it's known as a septic miscarriage. This can be a severe infection and demands immediate care. Treatment-Dilation and Curettage (D&C).

Fetal Demise

A death that occurs prior to 20 weeks' gestation is usually classified as a spontaneous abortion; those occurring after 20 weeks constitute a fetal demise or stillbirth. Treatment- Induction of labor.


Section 1. W.S. 35-6-102 and 35-6-117 are amended to read:


35-6-102. Abortion restrictions; exception.


(a) An abortion shall not be performed after the embryo or fetus has reached viability except when necessary to preserve the woman from an imminent peril that substantially endangers her life or health, according to appropriate medical judgment.

Fatal Fetal Anomaly

The term fatal fetal anomaly (FFA) describes a condition likely to lead to death of the fetus in utero or within 28 days of birth. in these cases, we leave the option to the patient on how they would like to proceed. if they decide to terminate the pregnancy, we will then send them to Maternal Fetal Medicine, Obstetrix Group, Denver- for evaluation and treatment. ALL patients are given this option in these circumstances. MFM specializes in this area.
