[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]They made my good friend, who had a hysterectomy almost 10 years ago, do a pregnancy test before her recent surgery because she still has her ovaries. Yeah... [/b] [/quote] Ectopic pregnancy. Pregnancies in the abdominal cavity, without a uterus, have happened before. They don't lead to viable babies, but they can lead to severe injury or death for the mother, and it's important to know before surgery in case there's a bleed-out. Pregnant women respond differently to anesthesia and hemorrhage. [/quote] This is so rare as to be asinine as a basis for forcing women to have pregnancy tests. [/quote]
