• Vaginal bleeding and/or pain in early pregnancy up to 12 weeks
• A positive pregnancy test and a scan result showing a pregnancy of unknown location with pain, bleeding or other relevant symptoms
• A previous ectopic pregnancy (at six weeks gestation they can be referred for a scan)
• Recurrent miscarriages
• A previous molar pregnancy, not less than 8 weeks gestation.

We provide: 

• Urgent planned appointments
• Support during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy
• Early scans for people who have been seen in our recurrent miscarriage clinic and /or are on treatment for previous miscarriages
• Early scans for patients who have previously had a ectopic pregnancy

Gynaecological emergency:

If you're not pregnant and have a non-urgent gynaecological problem, contact your GP who can refer you appropriately. If you have had a gynaecology procedure/surgery and are experiencing problems, please follow the advice you were given when you left the hospital where you were operated and contact your GP. If it's an emergency, please go to your local emergency department (ED) or come to GEU at Queen’s Hospital.
