A cervical pregnancy is an ectopic pregnancy that has implanted in the uterine endocervix.[2] Such a pregnancy typically aborts within the first trimester, however, if it is implanted closer to the uterine cavity – a so-called cervico-isthmic pregnancy – it may continue longer.[3] Placental removal in a cervical pregnancy may result in major hemorrhage.
