🚑 Maternity ER: when and how to get there?

What to Do?

1. 1. What to prepare

   Call your maternity unit for waters breaking, contractions, bleeding, changed movements or any concern; follow its individual plan. Do not delay to shower or pack.

2. 2. What to check

   For severe bleeding, collapse, seizures, severe breathing difficulty or imminent birth without safe transport, call the medical emergency service.

3. 3. In Singapore

   For a life-threatening medical emergency call 995 for a medical emergency. Give your location and follow dispatcher instructions.

4. 4. In Singapore

   Confirm the maternity hospital’s assessment route and after-hours number. Arrange newborn follow-up with the hospital, polyclinic or GP, including jaundice review when directed. Public subsidies and MediSave arrangements have eligibility rules; check charges and referral requirements.
