Pregnancy Complications That Require Immediate Emergency Care
Some pregnancy symptoms signal conditions that can worsen quickly. If you’re experiencing any of the following, come to Advance ER or call 911 immediately.
Go to the ER right away for these warning signs:
- Heavy vaginal bleeding or bleeding with clots - may indicate ectopic pregnancy, placenta previa, or miscarriage
- Severe or one-sided abdominal pain with fainting or shoulder pain - potential signs of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and internal bleeding
- High blood pressure, severe headache, or sudden vision changes - classic warning signs of preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy disorder that develops after 20 weeks
- Seizures during pregnancy - may indicate eclampsia, a life-threatening complication of preeclampsia
- Chest pain or labored breathing - can signal a cardiovascular event or pulmonary embolism
- Sudden loss of vision or hearing, or loss of consciousness
- Decreased fetal movement after approximately 28 weeks - a time-sensitive sign of possible fetal distress
- High fever with back or flank pain - may indicate a kidney infection that can trigger preterm labor
- Inability to keep food or fluids down - severe dehydration from hyperemesis gravidarum requires prompt IV treatment
These symptoms can be the first warning signs of life-threatening emergencies requiring rapid diagnosis. In some cases, they may also point to a severe cardiovascular event, including a chest-related emergency, that needs attention just as urgently. Don’t wait to see if things improve. Come in.
Pregnancy Symptoms That May Not Be Emergencies
Not every symptom during pregnancy points to a crisis. Light nausea and vomiting in the first trimester, mild cramps, a low-grade fever, and light vaginal spotting are common and may not require emergency care. Your OB is the right first call for these milder concerns.
That said, if you’re unsure whether what you’re feeling is serious, coming to a no-wait emergency room carries less risk than waiting to find out. You’ll be evaluated by a board-certified physician. Let us know when you arrive that you may be experiencing pregnancy complications so our team can prioritize the right tests and care from the start.

What Happens After Pregnancy Complication Treatments?
After we have treated you for pregnancy complications and you are stabilized, our medical professionals can discuss the next treatment steps. Depending on the situation, we may recommend that you go home for bed rest, as well as provide information about when you can resume regular activities like work or exercise. Or we may recommend that you schedule a visit with your primary doctor for follow-up treatments. If extended hospitalization or the emergency delivery of your child is required, then Advance ER can arrange to have you taken to the hospital via ambulance.
