When Is a Pregnant Woman Taken to Hospital in Emergency?

If the rupture is identified, the patient should be admitted to hospital in a supine position with the back and legs higher to prevent the outflow of the fluid.

- It is not labor pain if the abdomen suddenly hurts and becomes rigid like a wooden board and when the pain is felt only in one place on the abdomen.

If left alone in such a case, the pregnant woman and fetus are at risk of life so she should be admitted in emergency.

- When there is a large amount of bleeding, the pregnant woman should be admitted to the hospital even if it stopped temporarily.

- When her abdomen is severely injured, or the rupture happens in the toilet, or a seizure occurs, she should be taken to hospital in emergency

- In addition, when the patient has a sudden cold and trembling and high fever after abortion, preterm delivery, or normal delivery, she must be admitted immediately.
