High-Risk Pregnancies

Most pregnancies go according to plan for the vast majority of mothers. However, some mothers face challenges because of their own or their child’s health. These pregnancies are considered high risk because of the women’s health conditions.

Only about 6–8% of pregnancies are complicated by high risk factors. These complications can be life-threatening, so getting treatment right away is essential.

 Miracle perinatologists are obstetricians who have completed additional training and certification in high-risk pregnancy care. While some complications are inevitable, they will do everything in their power to help you have a healthy pregnancy.

Risk Factors of High Risk Pregnancies 

In some cases, a high-risk pregnancy is the result of a previously existing medical condition. Pregnancies can also become high risk if you or your unborn child develop a medical condition.

Some of the things that can put a pregnancy at risk are:

Maternal age of 30 or older: Women over the age of 35 face increased dangers during pregnancy.

Lifestyle selections: pregnancy is vulnerable to the harmful effects of smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, and using illegal drugs.

Concerns about the health of the mother: Risks for complications during pregnancy are amplified by conditions such as hypertension, obesity, diabetes, epilepsy, thyroid disease, heart or blood disorders, poorly managed asthma, and infections.

Expecting more than one baby:  Women who are expecting more than one baby are at a greater risk of complications during pregnancy.

Indications of past pregnancy problems: The likelihood of being diagnosed with a hypertension disorder during pregnancy, such as preeclampsia, increases with each previous diagnosis of a similar condition during pregnancy. Another early delivery is more likely if you had a premature birth during your last pregnancy or if you have had multiple pregnancies. If you have any questions or concerns about your obstetric history, it’s important to discuss them with your doctor.
