Safety
If this is urgent
10 moons offers education and reflection. It is not a clinician, a crisis line, or a substitute for medical or mental-health care. If you or your baby are in danger, please reach out to a person who can help — right now.
Medical or obstetric emergency
- Call your local emergency number (e.g. 112 in the EU, 999 in the UK, 911 in the US/Canada, 000 in Australia).
- Or go to the nearest maternity ward / emergency department.
- Heavy bleeding, severe headache, vision changes, chest pain, fever >38°C postpartum, or a baby who is unresponsive, blue, or struggling to breathe — do not wait.
