High Risk Pregnancy

A high-risk pregnancy is one where health conditions or circumstances increase the likelihood of complications for the mother or baby. Factors such as maternal age, pre-existing medical conditions (like diabetes or hypertension), previous pregnancy issues, or pregnancy-related problems (like preeclampsia) can contribute. These pregnancies require closer monitoring by healthcare providers to ensure the well-being of both mother and baby. With proper care, many high-risk pregnancies result in healthy outcomes, but they typically involve extra precautions, specialized tests, and sometimes earlier or more frequent medical interventions.
