Explanation

Intrauterine pregnancy is a term used in medicine to describe a normal pregnancy. It means that a fertilized egg has attached itself inside the uterus where it should be. This is the ideal place for a baby to grow and develop over the course of about nine months. The term is often used to confirm a normal pregnancy as opposed to an ectopic pregnancy, where the egg implants outside the uterus.
