Several days after Kelsie Norris-De La Cruz found out she was pregnant in Texas, she started to experience bleeding and cramping. When she went to the emergency room, she was told that she was likely having a miscarriage and to seek medical care if the symptoms continued.
Over the next several weeks, her symptoms worsened. She went to the emergency room at Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital, where staff noted she was showing signs of an ectopic pregnancy, which is when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside of the uterus in the abdomen, a female's cervix or more commonly, the fallopian tubes. An ectopic pregnancy is a life-threatening condition; there is no way that an ectopic pregnancy can become a full-term pregnancy.
