Direct guidance
What to know or do
For “Contractions, pressure or fluid loss before 37 weeks,” use the lower-exposure choice instead of trying to cancel the exposure afterward. Do not assume a planned birth date is fixed when new maternal or fetal information may change the balance.
What changes the answer
- The exact finding, pregnancy week, measurements, symptoms and diagnostic certainty
- Maternal health, fetal growth or wellbeing and how each is changing over time
- Available specialist care, monitoring, treatment, transfer and birth-timing options
General guidance
When to get individual help
Choose a lower-risk alternative when possible. If the exposure already happened, record the product, amount, timing and symptoms and ask for advice instead of assuming harm.
