Danger signs in pregnancy, labour and after birth

Severe headache or blurred vision

Especially with swelling of the hands or face — possible signs of pre-eclampsia.

Fits or seizures

A convulsion during pregnancy or after birth is an immediate, life-threatening emergency.

Baby moving less

Reduced fetal movement in the last hours or days — do not wait until morning.

Waters broken with fever or pain

Early assessment protects you and your baby from infection.

Labour that stops, or pain with bleeding

Contractions that halt unexpectedly, or strong pain together with bleeding, need review now.
