- Rupture of the amniotic fluid (water breaking or suspicion of water breaking)
- If you are in labor , or think you are in labor
- Pain not relieved by prescribed analgesics
- Fever
The on call physician will not respond to calls regarding:
- Prescription refills (this includes birth control)
- Request for narcotics
- Appointment scheduling
- Vaginal Discharge
- Questions regarding medicines that are safe to use in pregnancy
