A high-risk pregnancy is one where the mother, baby, or both face increased health risks. This can be due to pre-existing medical conditions, pregnancy complications, or other factors that require specialized care and close monitoring.

  • Pre-existing medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension)
  • Advanced maternal age (over 35) or very young maternal age (under 17)
  • Multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.)
  • Pregnancy-related complications (e.g., preeclampsia, gestational diabetes)
  • Lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, substance abuse)
  • History of pregnancy complications (e.g., preterm birth, miscarriage)
  • Regular prenatal visits and monitoring
  • Specialized testing (e.g., ultrasounds, blood tests)
  • Medication management
  • Nutritional and lifestyle guidance
  • Emotional and mental health support
  • Birth planning and postpartum care
  • Advanced ultrasound imaging
  • Non-stress tests (NST)
  • Biophysical profiles (BPP)
  • Blood tests for glucose levels, infections, and genetic screening
  • Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS)
  • Fetal echocardiography

It depends on the specific conditions and complications. Many women with high-risk pregnancies can have normal deliveries with appropriate monitoring and care, but some may require cesarean sections or other interventions.

You will likely have more frequent prenatal visits than in a typical pregnancy. The exact frequency depends on your specific condition and needs but could be every 1-2 weeks.
