High-Risk Pregnancy: Know What To Expect

You might have many questions if you have high-risk pregnancy like will your baby be okay? Will you need special care?

A high-risk pregnancy might pose challenges before, during or after delivery. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, you and your baby might need special care throughout your pregnancy. A pregnancy is considered high risk when there are pre-existing & problematic medical conditions such as multiple births, a history of miscarriages or abnormal pregnancies, high blood pressure etc. Routine screenings such as blood test and ultrasound helps to identify whether a pregnancy is high risk or not.

Symptoms Of High-Risk Pregnancy

Symptoms of high-risk pregnancy are often difficult to differentiate from symptoms of a normal pregnancy, though they may last longer and be far more severe.

  • Decreased fetal movement
  • burning sensations while urinating
  • Vaginal bleeding, watery vaginal discharge
  • Recurrent contractions
  • Severe pain or cramping in the lower abdomen.

Risk Factors For High-Risk Pregnancy

Smoking, alcohol or consumption of drugs during pregnancy makes it a high-risk pregnancy. Other risk factors include the following:

  • Being significantly underweight or overweight
  • History of premature labor
  • Previously having a child with a genetic condition
  • Being pregnant with multiple fetuses
  • Preeclampsia
