Warning Signs For Potential Complications During Pregnancy

Most women only experience the normal discomforts that take place during pregnancy. However, sometimes there can be complications that need immediate medical attention.

If you experience any of the symptoms listed below, contact your health care provider immediately, or go to the hospital or emergency room.

The bottom line: if you are worried, definitely call your health care provider! Chances are someone from your practice is awake and working on labor and delivery at any given moment. It's better to call and check than stay at home and worry alone.
