Is it serious? Pregnancy symptom checker
In many cases the symptoms in this section can be treated easily and will not lead to a serious complication. But sometimes they are signs of something more serious.
Pregnancy can bring many new symptoms. Most are harmless but there are some to look out for as they may be a sign of something more serious.
We believe in empowering women and birthing people to understand what different symptoms mean and to know when to get help.
If you have more questions, you can call our midwives between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday on our free helpline.
