When to Seek Medical Care

A woman who is pregnant who experiences cramping or bleeding at any time should call her health care provider. A pregnant woman who experiences these symptoms but does not have a health care provider should go to her closest hospital's emergency department to be examined.

A pregnant woman should go to the hospital if she experiences the following symptoms:

  • Heavy bleeding (soaking more than one pad per hour)

  • Passing something that looks like tissue (Place this tissue in a container and take it with you to the hospital.)

  • Severe cramping (like a menstrual period)

  • Cramping or bleeding accompanied by fever

  • Bleeding or abdominal pain in a woman who has had a previous ectopic (tubal) pregnancy

  • Vomiting so severe she can't keep anything down
