Which statement is NOT considered a danger sign requiring contacting the health care provider during pregnancy?

• A. Morning sickness
• B. Puffiness of the face
• C. Visual disturbances
• D. Abdominal pain

Answer: (A)

Morning sickness is a common and expected part of early pregnancy caused by hormonal changes, and by itself it does not usually require contacting a health care provider. You would reach out if nausea becomes so severe that you can’t keep fluids down, leading to dehydration, significant weight loss, or persistent vomiting.

Puffiness of the face can signal fluid retention or rising blood pressure, and in pregnancy this can be a warning sign of preeclampsia, so it warrants evaluation.

Visual disturbances such as blurred vision or seeing spots can indicate high blood pressure or preeclampsia and require urgent assessment.

Abdominal pain in pregnancy may point to serious issues like placental problems or other complications and should be evaluated promptly.

So the statement that is not a danger sign requiring contacting the health care provider is morning sickness.
