A pregnancy is deemed high risk if the mother or baby has a high chance of developing a health problem. A high risk pregnancy does not necessarily mean that you will develop complications.
It just means that specialist care is advised, and with proper care, you will be able to manage any complications that arise, and in many cases make decisions that will prevent problems from developing.
Women with existing health conditions such as the ones below, are likely to have high-risk pregnancies:
Women who conceive at younger than 17 or older than 35 are also at greater risk of having complications with their pregnancy.
Issues may arise from the pregnancy itself, rather than due to any pre-existing medical conditions, and cause complications such as:
It is also possible to develop pregnancy-related syndromes.
The more common of these are preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. Pre-eclampsia can be dangerous for the mother and the baby, and even fatal in some cases. It involves high blood pressure (hypertension), protein in the urine (proteinuria), and swelling of the ankles, feet, hands, and sometimes the face, caused by fluid retention (oedema).
Gestational diabetes is diabetes that develops during pregnancy.
In cases of both gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia, it is entirely possible to have a healthy pregnancy with the help of an obstetrician.
