Question 32: If women got pregnant, how should them self-monitor at home, and under what conditions should I seek immediate medical care?
(1) Monitoring for obstetric danger signs
lf you are diagnosed with early intrauterine pregnancy and you have mild abdominal pain or light bleeding, you may rest and observe your conditions at home; consult a doctor at the earliest possible time if you have frequent irregular bleeding or heavy bleeding with abdominal pain.
Monitor your weight changes, fetal movements,abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding or discharge and signs of delivery during pregnancy, and monitor your blood pressure when necessary (especially if you have preexisting conditions or abnormal blood pressure). Seek medical care at the earliest possible time if you develop symptoms of dizziness, headache, blurred vision,shortness of breath, increased blood pressure, vaginal bleeding or discharge, abnormal abdominal pain or fetal movement, or if you detect signs of childbirth.
(2) Monitoring for COVlD-19 symptoms
Monitor your body temperature on a daily basis and remain on guard for suspected COVlD-19 symptoms,such as fever, cough, sore throat, chest tightness,dyspnea, fatigue, diarrhea, conjunctivitis, muscle aches,etc. Should you develop mild symptoms such as nasal congestion and throat pain, rest at home, monitor your body temperature on a daily basis and observe your conditions closely if you don’t have fever and you have not been to the areas with COVlD-19 outbreaks or did not have close contact with COVlD-19 cases within the past 14 days. Visit a designated hospital as soon as possible if you have fever, fatigue, dry cough, nasal congestion,runny nose, sore throat, diarrhea or other suspected symptoms, or if you have travelled to or resided in highrisk areas, or have had close contact with confirmed patients within the past 14 days.
Do not delay medical care for fear or worry, and take adequate precautions if you are going to visit a health facility.
