When should I see a doctor?

During pregnancy, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare team if you have concerns. Also, discuss any changes regarding your health or medications, including natural health products, with a healthcare professional. They can guide you through this journey and ensure that the products are safe for your pregnancy.

Some medical conditions require informed decision-making in collaboration with your healthcare team for a healthy pregnancy. Conditions such as hypertension, epilepsy, depression, and anxiety disorders are a few examples.

If you are considering pregnancy or are already pregnant and currently taking medications, talk to your doctor to determine the best course of action.

Contact your doctor, midwife, or the nursing advice line immediately if you experience concerning symptoms during your pregnancy, such as:

• Severe vaginal bleeding
• Sudden abdominal pain
• Chest pain
• Difficulty breathing
• Fever
• Dizziness
• Decreased fetal movements

Your health and your baby’s health are a priority. To speak with a nurse about your health, you can contact 811, available 24/7

If you or a loved one require emergency care, call 911.
