You know your body best
You and your body will go through many changes during pregnancy. But some changes may be a sign of serious complications that can cause long-term effects or even death.
You may not know what changes are normal or abnormal. But you know when something is wrong. To get the care you need, talk to your doctor about symptoms that concern you.
If you are pregnant or have been pregnant within the past year, and have any of these urgent maternal warning signs get medical care right away.
