  • Any vaginal bleeding
  • Your water breaks
  • Severe persistent headache that does not go away
  • Pain or burning when urinating
  • Severe nausea or vomiting
  • You experience a fall
  • Chills and fever, or fever over 38 C or 100 F
  • Disturbance of vision: blurred vision, seeing spots, flashes, or blind spots
