FAQs
What are the most serious warning signs in pregnancy?
Heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, high blood pressure symptoms (like headache and blurred vision), or lack of fetal movement require immediate medical care.
When should I rush to the hospital?
If you notice heavy bleeding, sudden fluid leakage, fainting, severe pain, or absent baby movements, go to the hospital immediately.
Can swelling in pregnancy be dangerous?
Mild swelling is common, but sudden or severe swelling (especially in hands, face, or around eyes) may indicate preeclampsia and needs urgent attention.

First, try lying on your left side and count movements. If reduced or absent after a few hours, contact your doctor right away.
