High-Risk Pregnancy
Every pregnancy deserves special treatment. But if your normal pregnancy becomes complicated or you have a medical issue and become pregnant, you need highly specialized care. A high-risk pregnancy is a pregnancy with an increased chance of health complications for the mother, baby, or both.
Factors that can make a pregnancy high-risk include pre-existing maternal health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, maternal age (17 or younger or 35 or older), multiple pregnancies, and lifestyle choices like smoking or drinking alcohol.
Common risk factors
• Maternal age: Being 17 or younger or 35 or older can increase risks.
• Pre-existing health conditions: Conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or autoimmune diseases increase risk.
• Lifestyle factors: Smoking, consuming alcohol or illegal drugs, and poor nutrition are significant risks.
• Pregnancy-related factors:
• Multiple births: Carrying twins, triplets, or other multiples is a high-risk factor.
• Previous pregnancy complications: A history of premature labor or a previous child with a birth defect can increase risk.
• Obesity: Being overweight or obese before or during pregnancy increases the risk of complications for both mother and baby.
• Infections: Certain infections during pregnancy can pose a risk.
- Prenatal care:It’s crucial to have regular prenatal checkups with your doctor or a maternal-fetal medicine specialist.
- Lifestyle modifications:Follow your doctor’s advice on diet, exercise, and avoiding smoking and alcohol.
- Professional guidance:A high-risk pregnancy may require working with specialists to manage any existing health problems and monitor the pregnancy more closely.
Women with existing medical conditions may need a close monitoring during and after pregnancy to ensure the health of both the mother and the baby. If you think that you are a high risk patient based on your history or medical problems, you can discuss all of your concerns with Dr. Sneha Trivedi who is expert in managing complex pregnancies.
A high-risk pregnancy does not necessarily mean that your pregnancy will be more difficult or challenging than a low-risk pregnancy. However, it does sometimes mean that you will need to consult high-risk specialist and undergo more monitoring than someone with a low-risk pregnancy.
A woman’s lifestyle, as well as a variety of pre-existing health issues and developments, can contribute to a pregnancy being considered high-risk.
Despite going through a high-risk pregnancy, the complications during or after the pregnancy period can be resolved or brought down in several ways. If you would like to further learn about the risks associated with your pregnancy, consult Dr. Sneha Trivedi.
