When 34-year-old Pakistani mother of four, Asma Sami-ur-Rehman, arrived at the Emergency Department of RAK Hospital with abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, she had no idea her life was at risk.
Doctors diagnosed her with a caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (CSP), a rare and potentially fatal condition where the fertilised egg implants into the scar tissue from a previous caesarean section.
