How to Know if Your Pregnancy Is High Risk
Learn which conditions can make pregnancy high risk and why specialist monitoring helps.
A pregnancy may be considered high risk when the mother or baby needs closer monitoring before, during or after delivery.
Common reasons for specialist care
- High blood pressure or diabetes
- Multiple pregnancy

- Placental problems
- Maternal age or an existing medical condition
Early antenatal visits help your doctor assess risk and create an individual care plan.
