WHEN TO CALL

Signs to look out for in pregnancy

If you notice any of these, get them checked. Don't wait, and don't worry about being a bother.

Obvious swelling

of your hands, face, or upper body

Severe pain

just below the ribs in the middle of your tummy

A persistent headache

that doesn't ease with rest or paracetamol

Your baby's movements

slow down, change, or stop

Problems with vision

blurring, flashing lights or spots, difficulty focusing

Vaginal bleeding

or leaking fluid (clear or any colour)

A high temperature

fever, chills, or feeling generally unwell

Itch

particularly on the hands and feet

If you're worried, call.

We'd always rather hear from you. We never mind a check-in that turns out to be nothing.
