High-Risk Pregnancy

A pregnancy is called high-risk when the mother, the baby or both need closer monitoring than usual. The reason may be a health condition that existed before pregnancy, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or thyroid disease. It may also be one that develops during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes or pre-eclampsia. Age, carrying twins or more, and problems in an earlier pregnancy can also place a pregnancy in this group.

A high-risk pregnancy does not mean something will go wrong. It means you will need more frequent check-ups, scans and tests, so that any problem is found and managed early. Your obstetrician will plan this care with you. Keeping every appointment, following the treatment plan and reporting new symptoms promptly all help reduce the risks for you and your baby.

Highlights Of

Causes of a High-Risk Pregnancy

Mother’s Age

Pregnancy in women under 18 or over 35 is more likely to need closer monitoring. Your doctor will plan extra checks based on your age and health.

Mother’s Health

Some conditions present before pregnancy, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disease or HIV infection, can make a pregnancy high-risk. With good control and regular monitoring, many women with these conditions have healthy pregnancies.

Overweight or Obesity

Being overweight can make it harder to conceive and raises the risk of complications such as gestational diabetes and high blood pressure. It is also linked with a higher chance of some birth defects, including heart defects.

Mother’s Health During Pregnancy

Some conditions first appear during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes or pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure in pregnancy). Regular antenatal visits help find these early.

Multiple Births

Carrying twins or more increases the chance of complications such as early delivery, so these pregnancies are monitored more closely.
