Call your doctor, midwife, or nurse advice line now or seek immediate medical care if:
- You have severe vaginal bleeding. This means that you are soaking through your usual pads every hour for 2 or more hours.
- You are dizzy or light-headed, or you feel like you may faint.
- You have new or increased pain in your belly or pelvis.
- You pass tissue, not just blood.
- You feel depressed or are not able to function.
The type of treatment you have will affect what you should watch closely for. Be sure to contact your doctor, midwife, or nurse advice line if:
- You were given medicine to help the pregnancy tissue pass, and you don't bleed or pass tissue within 24 hours after taking the medicine.
- You had a surgical procedure to help remove pregnancy tissue, and you still feel pregnant 1 week after the procedure.
