Direct guidance
What to know or do
Carry your usual urgent-care plan and baseline information. New fever, chest pain, breathing difficulty, severe pain, dehydration or feeling acutely unwell needs prompt assessment; do not start or stop condition-specific medicines from a generic page.
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
Contact your doctor or maternity service promptly and describe the timing, severity, associated symptoms and pregnancy week so they can choose the right assessment.
