Generally okayGeneral guidanceHealth condition or access

Wheelchair use, mobility aids and transfers

Keep the mobility aids that support independence and ask for an access plan as balance, reach, pressure, pain or transfer technique changes during pregnancy.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Review examination tables, weighing, hoists, positioning, pressure care, thrombosis risk, transport and emergency evacuation before they become urgent. Support people may assist, but staff must still communicate and obtain consent directly from you.

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

General guidance

When to get individual help

This is a general pregnancy baseline, not personal clearance. Change course and ask for advice if symptoms, complications or an individual care plan make the situation different.
