Host:

The first part of your pregnancy is a time of physical and emotional changes, and sometimes it's hard to know if something going on with your body is "normal" or a potential crisis. This list includes a breakdown of some conditions that require an immediate call to your provider.

Please contact your provider if any of these things happen early in your pregnancy:
 

• Persistent pain or cramping.
• Vaginal bleeding
• Severe, constant headaches.
• Persistent vomiting or diarrhea.
• Swelling of hands, face, legs, and feet.
• Fever (over 101 degrees) lasting more than 24 hours.

In fact, you should feel free to contact your caregiver with any questions or concerns at any time during your pregnancy.
