Your body deserves to be heard
Serious pregnancy-related complications can appear during pregnancy and throughout the year after pregnancy ends, including after delivery or pregnancy loss. This page helps you recognize categories of concern—it cannot determine what a symptom means.
Seek care immediately
This summary is intentionally conservative and is not a complete symptom checker.
A severe or worsening headache, sudden thunderclap pain, vision changes, fainting, a memory gap, or ongoing dizziness.
Trouble breathing, chest pressure or pain, a racing or irregular heartbeat, or difficulty breathing while lying flat.
Bleeding that soaks a pad in an hour, clots larger than an egg, foul-smelling discharge, a temperature of 100.4°F or higher, or severe belly pain that does not go away.
Severe vomiting or inability to keep fluids down, extreme swelling of the face or hands, one-sided arm or leg pain or swelling, or sudden overwhelming weakness unlike ordinary fatigue.
Possible action on thoughts of harm, inability to keep yourself or the baby safe, hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, severe confusion, or feeling disconnected from reality.
If you feel that something is wrong, contact a healthcare professional and say clearly that you were pregnant within the last year.

I was pregnant within the last year, and something does not feel right. This symptom is new, severe, or getting worse. I need medical guidance now about where I should be seen. Please document my concern and the plan for follow-up.
