What constitutes a high-risk pregnancy?

A high-risk pregnancy increases the likelihood of health complications for both the mother and the infant. Some causes for a high-risk pregnancy include:

  • Maternal age: Women under 17 and over 35 are at higher risk.
  • Pre-existing medical conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders, can raise pregnancy risks.
  • Pregnancy complications include preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and placenta previa.
  • Multiple pregnancies, including twins, triplets, or more.
  • Previous history of pregnancy complications, such as preterm births, miscarriages, or Cesarean deliveries, can lead to increased risk.

Our approach to caring for high-risk pregnancies involves personalized care plans:

  • Every high-risk pregnancy is unique. Our specialists create personalized care plans based on the mother and baby's individual needs, providing careful monitoring and timely interventions.
  • Our multidisciplinary team specializes in maternal-fetal medicine, nutrition, and mental health, offering comprehensive treatment throughout the pregnancy experience.
  • High-risk pregnancies require frequent prenatal appointments and monitoring. Our staff conducts frequent check-ups to monitor the pregnancy's progress and identify any potential problems early on.
  • We prioritize educating and supporting expectant mothers. Our staff provides knowledge of managing health concerns, recognizing warning signs, and living a healthy lifestyle while pregnant.
  • Our hospital offers 24/7 access to specialized medical care and neonatal intensive care units (NICU) for premature or severely ill newborns, making them ready for emergencies.

Tips for Expectant Mothers:

  • If you're having a high-risk pregnancy, here are some ideas to help manage your health:
  • Stay Informed: Educate yourself on your disease and the significance of prenatal care.
  • Follow Medical Advice: Adhere to your healthcare provider's care plan, which includes medications, nutrition, and activity limitations.
  • Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a healthy diet, remain hydrated, and participate in appropriate physical activities.
  • Check Your Health: Keep track of any unexpected symptoms and report them to your doctor right away.
