Memorize this “go to the hospital immediately” checklist — it applies throughout pregnancy and the first year after childbirth
背下这张「立刻去医院」的清单，孕期和产后一年内都算数
No cost at all. It takes just five minutes to memorize, and it’s a good idea to share it with anyone living in the same household.
If any of the following symptoms appear, head to the hospital on the same day — do not wait until the next morning. Persistent or worsening headaches, changes in vision, fever reaching 38°C. Severe swelling of the hands or face, trouble breathing, chest pain or a rapid heartbeat. Unrelenting severe abdominal pain, no fetal movement or a noticeable drop in fetal movement. Vaginal bleeding or fluid leakage. Swelling, pain and redness in one arm or leg. Thoughts of harming yourself or your baby. The full list is included in the Benefits section below. These guidelines apply equally in the first year after childbirth.

7. Memorize this “go to the hospital immediately” checklist — it applies throughout pregnancy and the first year after childbirth
Cost: No cost at all. It takes just five minutes to memorize, and it’s a good idea to share it with anyone living in the same household.
In plain terms: If any of the following symptoms appear, head to the hospital on the same day — do not wait until the next morning. Persistent or worsening headaches, changes in vision, fever reaching 38°C. Severe swelling of the hands or face, trouble breathing, chest pain or a rapid heartbeat. Unrelenting severe abdominal pain, no fetal movement or a noticeable drop in fetal movement. Vaginal bleeding or fluid leakage. Swelling, pain and redness in one arm or leg. Thoughts of harming yourself or your baby. The full list is included in the Benefits section below. These guidelines apply equally in the first year after childbirth.
Benefit: These are all emergency warning signs during pregnancy and postpartum listed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Persistent or worsening headaches, dizziness or fainting, changes in vision, a body temperature of 38°C or higher. Severe swelling of the hands or face, thoughts of harming yourself or your baby. Difficulty breathing, chest pain or a rapid heartbeat. Severe nausea and vomiting, unrelenting severe abdominal pain. Absence or significant reduction of fetal movement during pregnancy, vaginal bleeding or fluid leakage during pregnancy or postpartum. Abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge after childbirth. Severe swelling, redness and pain in one arm or leg. None of these issues disappear after the postpartum recovery period — they can all occur within the first year after childbirth.
Evidence grade: A
Notes: This checklist serves to clearly distinguish between situations where you can wait a little longer and those that demand immediate medical attention. Headaches paired with blurred vision and upper abdominal pain are typical signs of preeclampsia, a form of pregnancy-related hypertension. Swelling and pain in one lower leg often indicates deep vein thrombosis (see Section 13). According to the World Health Organization, severe postpartum hemorrhage can be fatal to a healthy woman within just a few hours. If any of these symptoms appear, go to the hospital right away — do not delay by waiting at home overnight.

7. 背下这张「立刻去医院」的清单，孕期和产后一年内都算数
成本: 不花钱。花五分钟记住，最好也让同住的人知道
说人话: 任何一条出现，当天就去医院，别在家等一晚。头痛不好或越来越重、看东西变样、发烧到 38 ℃。手或脸肿得厉害、喘不上气、胸痛或心跳快。肚子剧痛不缓解、胎动停了或明显变少、阴道出血或流液。一条胳膊或腿又肿又痛、想伤害自己或孩子。产后一年内也算。
收益: 美国疾病控制与预防中心列出的孕产期紧急预警信号有这些：头痛一直不好或者越来越重、头晕或者晕过去、看东西变样、体温达到 38 ℃ 或更高；手或者脸肿得厉害、有伤害自己或者伤害孩子的念头、呼吸困难、胸痛或者心跳过快；恶心呕吐很厉害、肚子剧烈疼痛一直不缓解、孕期胎动停止或者明显减少；孕期阴道出血或者流出液体、产后阴道出血或者分泌物不正常；一条胳膊或者一条腿严重肿胀、发红或者疼痛。这些问题在产后一年内都可能发生，不是「出了月子就没事」

备注: 这张清单的用处，是把「再忍忍」和「必须马上走」分开。头痛加上看东西发花，再加上上腹部疼，指向的是子痫前期（孕期的高血压疾病）。一条小腿又肿又痛，指向的是深静脉血栓（见第 13 节）。产后大出血按世界卫生组织的说法，可以在几小时内夺走一个健康女性的生命。任何一条出现就直接去医院，不要先在家等一晚
