You’ve been told you have a high-risk pregnancy. What does that mean? In simple terms it means you or your baby has an increased risk of a health problem. That sounds pretty scary, but because you are high-risk you and your baby be will closely monitored by Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialists. They provide education and research concerning the most recent approaches and treatments for obstetrical problems.
You may be considered high-risk if you are younger than 17 or older than 35, have diabetes, are carrying more than one baby, have kidney disease or high blood pressure. But just because you are labeled high-risk doesn’t mean you can’t deliver a healthy baby. Working with a Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist will help give you and your baby the best outcome.
