Women often present to emergency and urgent care services with problems or concerns relating to their pregnancy. Additionally, women who are pregnant may also present with acute medical problems or suffer from a range of injuries. Problems in early pregnancy are common and are often a reason for attendance to the emergency department. This chapter provides detailed information regarding the assessment of pregnant women and the differences to that of non-pregnant patients. A range of emergency obstetric problems are covered, including emergency delivery. The nursing assessment and management of medical problems in pregnancy are also covered.
