The short answer
The CDC lists urgent warning signs that need medical care right away, including a headache that will not go away, vision changes, bleeding or fluid leaking, severe belly pain, and your baby moving less. Call 911 for chest pain, trouble breathing, a seizure, or thoughts of harming yourself.

How Phia helps
Text Phia your question in your own words, any time. Phia’s AI care agent answers first and keeps track of what you share. When you need more, a nurse or another Phia provider can join the same text thread.
Chat with Phia’s providers is included in the $19 a month membership. Some Pennsylvania Medicaid plans cover Phia when Phia has a contract with the plan, and covered members typically pay nothing. Phia works alongside your OB or midwife. It does not replace prenatal care, and in-person visits are not included.
How it works
Every conversation starts with a text. If it needs a clinician, one joins the same thread, so you never repeat yourself or switch apps.
