A high-risk pregnancy means that the mother, baby, or both need extra medical attention during pregnancy. This does not mean something will go wrong, but it does mean closer monitoring is required to ensure safety.
High-risk pregnancies may occur due to conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disorders, previous pregnancy complications, advanced maternal age, or multiple pregnancies such as twins. Sometimes, a pregnancy becomes high-risk during later stages even if it started normally.
Common warning signs include high blood pressure, excessive swelling, reduced fetal movements, severe nausea, bleeding, or unusual pain. Early identification of these signs allows doctors to manage complications effectively.
With regular check-ups, timely investigations, proper medication, and personalized care, most high-risk pregnancies can result in healthy outcomes. Early consultation and consistent follow-up play a crucial role in protecting both mother and baby.
