Warning Signs of a Potential Problem During the First Trimester
Sometimes problems that require medical attention can arise during pregnancy. Call your obstetrical care provider, if you experience any of the symptoms listed below:
Vaginal bleeding
Pain or burning when you urinate
Very bad or frequent headaches
Severe vomiting
Pelvic pain or cramps
Increasing pelvic pressure
If pains are severe or bleeding heavy enough to soak a sanitary pad each hour, call your provider right away, whatever the hour. If you have any other problems or concerns, call your obstetrical care provider's office, or write them down to discuss at your next visit.
