High-risk pregnancies

High-risk pregnancies are those where there are increased chances of complications for the mother or baby due to health conditions, lifestyle, or pregnancy-related issues. Factors like advanced maternal age, pre-existing health problems (such as diabetes or hypertension), multiple pregnancies (twins or more), or previous pregnancy complications can contribute. These pregnancies require closer monitoring by healthcare providers to manage risks effectively, ensure maternal and fetal well-being, and plan any necessary interventions. Early detection and appropriate care are essential to promote healthy outcomes for both mother and baby.
