Answer: \textbf{Here is a brief description of my findings;}

- Lead, cobalt, arsenic and selenium appear to pass the placental barrier by a diffusion mechanism. It was also found that the mercury levels in cord blood were almost double those of the mother, suggesting that the foetus may act as a filter for the maternal mercury levels during pregnancy.

What happens on an ectopic pregnancy
ICE Princess25 [194]

You can find this answer by Googling that question. But, as someone who answers questions, I'll write it within my own words.

An ectopic pregnancy is when the egg is attached somewhere else aside from the uterus; the normal resting spot for the fertilized egg to begin growing. Usually, in an ectopic pregnancy, the egg goes into a fallopian tube which is obviously not where the egg is meant to be growing, so the embryo usually cannot form and continue to grow. Since the egg is already inside a tube, there is no possible way for it to survive. This doesn't occur that often, but that's not to say it doesn't occur at all.
