A high-risk pregnancy occurs when the health of the mother, baby, or both is at increased risk of complications due to factors like pre-existing conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension), maternal age, lifestyle choices, or pregnancy-related issues such as preeclampsia or multiple pregnancies.
These pregnancies require close monitoring, specialized care, and lifestyle adjustments to ensure the best possible outcome. Early prenatal care, regular check-ups, and managing health conditions are crucial for reducing risks. Despite challenges, many high-risk pregnancies result in healthy deliveries with proper medical support and timely interventions.
