Our early pregnancy unit (EPU) supports women up to 16 weeks into pregnancy with concerns such as vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain or excessive vomiting (hyperemesis gravadium), by appointment only.
I have found out I am pregnant, but don’t have pain or bleeding, do I contact you?
No, please register for your routine antenatal care via the self-referral link below.
Who can self-refer?
Please note the changes to the self-referral process, effective from 25th November 2024
We assess women in the first 16 weeks of pregnancy, who live locally to East Surrey Hospital, for complications such as pain, bleeding or excessive vomiting (Hyperemesis Gravadium). If you are experiencing vaginal bleeding and are less than 6 weeks pregnant, you may not be scanned but can self-refer for assessment and advice.
If you do not have pain or bleeding but have a history of the following, please self-refer
- previous molar pregnancy
- previous ectopic pregnancy
- 3 or more previous miscarriages
Assessment is by pre-arranged appointment only.

How to find us
Patients are seen by booked appointment only. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your appointment time and ensure plenty of time for parking. If you arrive more than 10 minutes past your appointment time, your appointment will need to be rescheduled. This may not be the same day.
Please note that children are not permitted inside the scan rooms, so we advise you to make alternative arrangements for childcare when attending the department.
You can find the department via the east entrance of East Surrey Hospital, green zone, first floor, follow signs for Brockham ward, EPU.
What do I do in an emergency?
If you are experiencing severe pain, which is stopping you from carrying out daily activities, or heavy vaginal bleeding which is soaking through more than 2 sanitary pads every hour, then please attend your nearest Emergency Department for assessment.
We are so sorry you are or have experienced pregnancy loss. We warmly invite you to join our new pregnancy loss support group, for support from other women who have also experienced pregnancy loss.
We are launching the group to provide a safe space for women to meet others who have also experienced pregnancy loss. Everyone’s journey is individual, but sharing experiences can help to process your own. The group will be calm and casual, with no formal structure or pressure to share your own experience with a wide group. You may benefit from simply meeting other women and listening.
There is no requirement to have been a patient of EPU at SaSH, or have had a recent loss. We welcome all types of pregnancy loss of all gestations and all circumstances.
Please feel free to come alone or bring a partner or a friend. Unfortunately, the sessions are not suitable for children. No need to pre-book, just turn up.
