Warning Signs During Pregnancy

Posted: Jan. 1, 2007

When you are pregnant, you should not hesitate to call your doctor if something is bothering or worrying you. Sometimes physical changes can be signs of a problem.

Call your doctor as soon as you can if you:

• Are bleeding or leaking fluid from the vagina
  
• Have sudden or severe swelling in the face, hands or fingers
  
• Get severe or long-lasting headaches
  
• Have discomfort, pain or cramping in the lower abdomen
  
• Have a fever or chills
  
• Are vomiting or have persistent nausea
  
• Feel discomfort, pain or burning with urination
  
• Have problems seeing or have blurred vision
  
• Feel dizzy
  
• Sense a change in your baby's movement
  
• Suspect your baby is moving less than normally after 28 weeks of pregnancy (if you count less than 10 movements in two hours or less)
