Not every thought needs to be a loud one. But unfortunately, the internet has given people endless opportunities to criticize each other’s lives and spread misinformation.

And as the subreddit ‘[Stuff] Mom Groups Say’ highlights, some parents seem to be in a league of their own. They appear to have convinced themselves that raising a child automatically makes their opinions more valuable than everyone else’s, and good luck trying to change their mind. Even if you’re an actual expert.

Then again, no wonder Lithuanians have the saying, “Let the fool have his way.”

    The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists states "A tubal ectopic pregnancy will never be viable." and "An ectopic pregnancy in any location is life threatening." So yeah, no, the placenta will never be "created in the correct area" for an interstitial (ectopic) pregnancy, plus OP is risking her own life by refusing surgical intervention.
