Direct guidance
What to know or do
Ask the specialist and maternity team what is stable, what would count as a flare and how infection or pregnancy complications will be distinguished. Keep prescribed treatment until a coordinated replacement or dose plan is provided.
What changes the answer
- The exact diagnosis, current control, organ function and usual signs of deterioration
- Every medicine, device, specialist and monitoring plan already in use
- Communication, mobility, sensory, examination and support adjustments needed for usable care

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.
