Early Pregnancy Unit

What we do

We assess and treat:

  • pregnant women with pain or/and bleeding in early pregnancy up to 16 weeks
  • pregnant women with high risk of an ectopic (outside the womb) pregnancy
  • non-pregnant women with severe pelvic pain.

At your appointment you will see a doctor who will assess you by taking your medical history and giving you an internal ultrasound scan. They will then discuss with you the likely cause of your symptoms, whether you need to have any further investigations and what treatment options are available.

If you are having pain and/or bleeding, you can come to one of our walk-in Early Pregnancy Emergencies clinics. These are held every week day, 9am to 12 noon. They run on a first-come, first-served basis, but priority is given to those who are seriously unwell.

If you are pregnant and start to have pain and/or bleeding at the weekend or on a bank holiday, please go straight to the Emergency Department.

Preparing for your appointment

Please bring a referral letter from your GP to the walk-in clinic between 8.30am and 12pm, Monday to Friday, if possible.

However, we do accept self- referrals where no GP letter is needed.
