What is a high-risk pregnancy? There are several different conditions that fall into this category, including:

Pregnancy over age 35
Substance use during pregnancy (alcohol, tobacco, or illegal drugs)
Past pregnancy complications or C-section delivery
Multiple gestation (twins, triplets, etc.)
Diabetes, hypertension, anemia, and other illnesses

Carrying a high-risk pregnancy can be challenging and stressful at times. You may have lots of questions and concerns about the progress of your pregnancy. With diligent and compassionate care, your OB-GYN can help you avoid complications before, during, and after delivery, and give you the best chances for a healthy outcome for mom and baby.

If you smoke or use other substances, you should quit. Your doctor may recommend special supplements or medications, or you may need to exercise more or get more rest.

If you are at risk for a high risk pregnancy, please talk to your doctor and make sure you understand the steps you can take to promote the healthy growth of your baby.
