Who to call?

If you have: 

• Pain in your tummy 
• Bleeding from your vagina 
• Sickness that won’t stop or makes it hard to eat/drink 

Call your GP, or if you can’t get through 111, and ask them to refer you to the Early Pregnancy Unit (EPU). The EPU sometimes accept self-referrals from patients if they have difficulty accessing their GP surgery. Their contact details are in the link above. 

In an emergency, call 111 for advice, go to A&E, or call 999 if it’s life-threatening. 

Call the MAMAS Line on 0300 013 2004 — it’s open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

Call us straight away if:  

• you think you might be in labour 
• your waters break – this may be a steady trickle rather than a gush. If you are leaking fluid and are unsure, please seek help
• you have bleeding from your vagina 
• your baby is moving less than usual or their pattern of movement changes
• you’re worried about your newborn baby - up to 28 days old
• you have persistent tummy pain that doesn’t go away 
• you have a bad headache/changes to your vision that won’t go away 
• you have itching (especially on your hands or feet) 
• you just feel unwell and not yourself 
• you have severe sickness and vomiting (hyperemesis) 

If it’s an emergency that’s not about your pregnancy: 

Call 111 for advice, go to A&E, or call 999 if it’s life-threatening.
