What is a high-risk pregnancy?

A high-risk pregnancy is any pregnancy where the health of the mother, the baby, or both may face greater-than-usual challenges. Some factors are beyond your control, while others can be managed with proper care.

Common conditions that may classify a pregnancy as high-risk include:

  • Maternal age over 35
  • Pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension
  • History of miscarriages or pregnancy complications
  • Carrying multiples (twins, triplets, etc.)
  • Lifestyle factors like smoking or drug use
  • HIV/AIDS or other chronic conditions
  • Obesity
  • Prior surgeries affecting reproductive health

How is high-risk pregnancy care different?

Care for a high-risk pregnancy is more intensive than a standard prenatal schedule. You can expect more frequent visits, closer monitoring, and specialized testing, such as:

  • Additional or advanced ultrasounds
  • Amniocentesis to evaluate amniotic fluid
  • Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) to check for genetic conditions
  • Cordocentesis to analyze fetal blood
  • Routine lab tests and medication management

If you have a pre-existing health condition, Dr. Ahdoot coordinates with your other healthcare providers to keep your condition stable while ensuring the safety of your baby.
