Emergency warning signs the nurse teaches the patient include reduction in fetal movement; signs of preterm labor (low,dull backache; pelvic pressure; uterine contractions; menstrual cramps); vaginal fluid loss or vaginal bleeding; maternal fever over 100.5°F; persistent headache associated with blurred vision or flashing lights in front of the eyes; continuous vomiting with weight loss,dehydration,weakness,dizziness,or fainting; or feeling that something is just not right.A headache not associated with visual disturbances and some limited nausea and vomiting without signs of dehydration are not emergencies.
