Key Warning Signs and Clinical Significance

Vaginal bleeding can indicate miscarriage or placental issues. Severe headaches, vision changes, and sudden swelling are signs of preeclampsia. Reduced fetal movement suggests fetal distress. Fluid leakage can indicate premature rupture of membranes.

How to Contact Care Providers

If you check any of these warning signs, do not wait. Contact your OB/GYN, midwife, or go directly to the nearest hospital's emergency room or labor & delivery triage unit.
