Emergency
When should you call us before 37 weeks of pregnancy:

  • When you are further along than 26 weeks and you clearly feel less livelinessthan before.

It is normal if you notice that the movement of your baby becomes less strong towards the end of the pregnancy, because there is less space to move around. In case of doubt or an obvious difference compared to the previous days it is important that you call us at any time.

  • In case of loss of amniotic fluid
    If you think you are losing amniotic fluid, you should call us straightaway (day and night). Try to collect some of the water or save a piece of clothing that got wet in the process.
  • If you experience vaginal blood loss
    During the pregnancy you should not have any distinctly clear red blood loss. If this is the case, please contact us right away. Take a picture with your phone showing the amount of blood loss, if possible. Sometimes this makes it easier for us to make an accurate assessment.
  • In case of contraction-like activity
    Contractions are painful menstrual-like cramps in your belly or back, which become increasingly strong. If you are experiencing these contractions regularly  call us immediately.
  • If you experience headache, light flares and nausea

Are you further along than 20 weeks of pregnancy and you are experiencing: headaches, vision complaints like light flares, nausea and vomiting, pain in the upper abdomen and oedema in hands/feet or face, please contact us immediately.

  • If you are worried you may always call us

Please follow the instructions your midwife gave you if you are after 37 weeks of pregnancy
