A woman presented at a remote island's emergency room with severe stomach pain and was shocked to learn that she was 23 weeks pregnant, but with an incredibly rare abdominal pregnancy. Doctors discovered a healthy placenta and fetus growing outside her uterus, attached to her abdominal cavity. Recognizing the risks, the woman was transferred to another hospital where she underwent abdominal surgery to safely remove the fetus. Both mother and baby recovered well, and two months later, they were reunited and able to go home. Abdominal pregnancies are extremely rare, occurring in only 1% of ectopic pregnancies.
