Urgent clinical queries

Non-obstetric condition or less than 16 weeks pregnant

Any woman less than 16 weeks gestation should present to the Emergency Department (at the booking site) for assessment. This includes first trimester bleeding or pain that cannot be appropriately diagnosed and managed in the community.

Any pregnant woman presenting with an urgent non-obstetric condition at any time in pregnancy (e.g., chest pain, undiagnosed abdominal pain, seizures, unusual migraine) should be referred to the Emergency Department in the first instance for assessment.
