Direct guidance
What to know or do
Ask which readings and symptoms need immediate care and who reviews home measurements. Severe headache, vision change, upper abdominal pain, breathing difficulty, seizure or feeling seriously unwell must not wait for the next scheduled check.
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
Check with your care team
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.
