The Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) curriculum covers a number of both gynaecological and pregnancy-related problems. This chapter covers the management and differential diagnosis for a female patient presenting with abdominal pain, including gynaecological causes as well as ectopic pregnancy. In addition, this chapter also focuses on the obstetric problems of bleeding in pregnancy, hyperemesis gravidarum, and eclampsia in line with the RCEM curriculum, which may all appear in the short-answer question (SAQ) paper. This chapter also covers the special circumstance of trauma in a pregnancy, which is not covered in Chapter 4 (Major trauma), and highlights the differences in managing a pregnant trauma patient.
