What Is a High-Risk Pregnancy?
A pregnancy is considered “high risk” when there are factors that could affect the health of the mother, the baby, or both. It doesn’t mean something will go wrong, but it does mean you’ll need more specialized care and frequent checkups.
Common Reasons for High-Risk Pregnancy:
- Advanced maternal age (35 and above)
- Pre-existing conditions like diabetes, thyroid disease, hypertension, epilepsy
- Gestational diabetes or preeclampsia
- Multiple pregnancies (twins or more)
- Previous miscarriage, stillbirth, or preterm labor
- Placenta previa or other placental issues
- History of C-section or uterine surgery
- Low or high amniotic fluid levels
- Fetal growth restriction or abnormalities
