What is High-Risk Pregnancy?

High-risk pregnancy, is when expectant mothers or fetus might be at increased risk of health problems before, during or after delivery. This is often the case if expectant mothers suffer from a chronic illness or have other factors and conditions. It is even possible to begin with a normal pregnancy and later develop conditions that may put expectant mothers into the high-risk category. These cases require special monitoring and care from a specialized hospital throughout the pregnancy. A variety of tests may be frequently needed at specific weeks of gestation. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain scheduled prenatal care appointments with your physician. Also, some high-risk pregnancies may require admission. Depending on the nature of the pregnancy, the condition of the expectant mother and/or fetus may worsen and become difficult to recover, so an early detection and diagnosis of high-risk factors are crucial. The following are classified as high-risk pregnancy:

Factors Involving Mother and Father

Maternal age (age 19 or younger and age 35 or older)
Personal or family history of genetic disorder and/or congenital anomalies
Infection during pregnancy (hepatitis, syphilis, chicken pox, HIV, CMV, etc.)
Smoking / alcohol
Weight (severely underweight or overweight)
Rh- blood type
Uterine anomalies and/or presence of myoma uteri
Pre-existing disease/disorder (diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, thyroid disorder, autoimmune disease, epilepsy, etc.)
History of high-risk pregnancy (congenital anomalies/chromosome abnormalities, multiple miscarriages/stillbirth, premature labor, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, etc.)
