Specialized care for high-risk pregnancy
Some pregnancies need closer monitoring. Timely evaluation and individualized care help identify concerns early and plan appropriate management together with you.
A pregnancy may be described as high-risk when a medical, obstetric or pregnancy-related factor means that closer monitoring is advisable. This description is about the level of attention required — it is not a prediction of the outcome.
Many women with high-risk pregnancies go on to have healthy pregnancies with appropriate care. The aim is calm, structured follow-up rather than anxiety.
Factors that may require closer monitoring
- Pregnancy hypertension
- Gestational diabetes
- Anemia
- Previous Caesarean delivery
- Multiple pregnancy
- Previous pregnancy complications
- Other medically identified risks
