  • Bleeding, pain, infection, faintness and other physical recovery or urgent-care needs
  • Personal, cultural, spiritual, partner, family and mental-health support preferences

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.
