What is a High Risk Pregnancy?
A pregnancy is considered high risk when there are greater chances of complications affecting the mother, the baby, or both. This does not always mean something will go wrong, but it does mean that closer observation and expert obstetric care are essential.
A high-risk pregnancy may be identified before conception, early in pregnancy, or later during pregnancy if complications arise.
