High risk pregnancy

If your pregnancy is high-risk

If your pregnancy is high-risk, you or your unborn child may be more susceptible to health issues before, during, or after delivery.

Usually, during pregnancy, special observation or care is required. Recognize the risk factors for a high-risk pregnancy and take steps to protect both you and your unborn child.

What are the danger signs of an unplanned, high-risk pregnancy?

A medical issue that existed prior to becoming pregnant can occasionally cause a high-risk pregnancy.

In some situations, a pregnancy may become high risk due to a medical problem that manifests itself while you or your unborn child are pregnant.

High mother age is one particular factor that may contribute to a high-risk pregnancy.
