Accident and Emergency Department
Your local Accident and Emergency department can still be used if you have an emergency or accident not related to your pregnancy (chest pain, difficulty breathing, collapse, etc). Always inform the staff in the department you are pregnant. If your condition may affect your pregnancy, you will be referred to Triage for assessment.
Make sure you have your green handheld pregnancy notes with you at all times.
Termination of pregnancy
Deciding to have a termination can be a difficult decision to make. Talking through the options with a doctor or nurse at a contraception and sexual health clinic can help you to reach your decision.
