When to get help now
Call emergency services now or go to an emergency department now if you have sudden, severe tummy pain, pain in the tip of your shoulder, feel very weak, faint or dizzy, or have heavy bleeding that soaks a pad soon after putting it on. For lighter bleeding or spotting, or pain low down on one side, contact your doctor, maternity unit or an early pregnancy unit today.
