Early Pregnancy Assessment Clinic

We provide medical care to those who are experiencing complications in early pregnancy.
​At the Early Pregnancy Assessment Clinic, we provide care to those experiencing complications, such as spotting, bleeding, and cramping, and who are between six to ten weeks of pregnancy.  

We also provide management options for those who are diagnosed with an early pregnancy loss of less than 13 weeks gestational age.  

Our services include:
  • Urgent gynecologic consult regarding complications in early pregnancy 
  • Transvaginal ultrasound, if needed 
  • Medical management of miscarriage using mifepristone and misoprostol 
  • Surgical management of miscarriage 
  • Grief and loss counselling 

​Referral information

​Your health care provider and/or an emergency department clinician can refer you to this clinic  once a concern has been identified. Find more information on our referral page.  

You can contact us directly for an appointment at 604-875-2592 during clinic hours, which includes weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.  

We do not accept walk-ins. Please ensure you book an appointment. If you call after hours, please leave a message with relevant details, including your contact information, and we will return your call as soon as possible.

Appointment details 

​During your appointment, you will meet with nurses and an obstetrician/gynecologist. BC Women’s Hospital is a provincial teaching centre, so there may be students and other learners participating in your care. 

The obstetrician/gynecologist may choose to perform an ultrasound during your appointment. You do not have to prepare for the ultrasound and are welcome to eat and drink as you feel comfortable.

Research

We engage in research to improve the understanding of miscarriage in the first trimester of pregnancy. All new patients contribute de-identified information to the Early Pregnancy Assessment Clinic research data registry. Every patient has the right to opt-out of participation.
