What to know or do
Bring the exact label, ingredients, preparation method or situation for “A new symptom that is persistent or worsening” when asking for advice. Ask who contacts you with results, by when, and what to do if you hear nothing.
What changes the answer
- Whether this is screening, diagnosis, monitoring, treatment or birth planning
- Pregnancy week, previous results and what the result could change
- Benefits, limits, alternatives, follow-up and the time available to decide

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
