First congrats on your becoming pregnant. As you may be aware the ectopic pregnancy accounts for about one tenth's of maternal deaths. Ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of pregnancy-related death in the first trimester, because they dont care much about and try to carry on with their routine work example travelling long, doind strenous work etc. You can get more details from the site http://kidshealth.org/parent/pregnancy_newborn/pregnancy/ectopic.html which explains in details the warnings of etopic pregnancy. Take care, All the best.

In medical terms: The ecotopic pregnancy: Any pregnancy which does not implant in the appropriate endometrial area of the uterus may be categorized as ectopic. If a pregnancy begins at the junction of the tube and upper uterus (interstitial), at the cervix or ovary or anywhere in the abdominal cavity, it is said to be an ectopic pregnancy.
Surprising to many women, is the fact that this is not an easy diagnosis. Many of the typical early pregnancy signs and symptoms may mimic those of an early ectopic pregnancy. The period is usually late but there may be some vaginal bleeding or spotting. Symptoms of pregnancy such as breast tenderness, nausea and fatigue may still be present. Some women develop pelvic cramping or abdominal pain; sometimes it is located on either side but may also be at the midline. As the pregnancy advances, shoulder pain or signs of blood loss such as dizziness or faintness may develop.
Obstetric care providers caution all women to watch for pain and bleeding, as these are the hallmarks of an ectopic pregnancy. If there is a suspicion, lab tests and ultrasound are requested.
