Pregnancy is a very beautiful and special phase of a woman’s life; every woman deserves a safe, healthy, and joyful pregnancy. Unfortunately, sometimes complications arise in the pregnancy that affect the health of the baby or the mother, or both, and that pregnancy is what the doctors call a "high-risk pregnancy." What makes this topic important for women to know is the criticality of the factors that increase the risk of high-risk pregnancy.
What is "high-risk pregnancy"?
Simply put, a high-risk pregnancy is one in which there is a slight possibility of health issues and complications for the mother, the baby, or both. To help ensure that both the mother and the baby remain healthy and safe and that the delivery goes smoothly and without any complications, high-risk pregnancies typically require extra love, care, and skilled medical management.
What factors leads to High-Risk Pregnancy?
There are several factors that lead to a high-risk pregnancy; sometimes the factor could be a minor thing that you might not think is a big deal, but the reality is that it can affect your healthy pregnancy and make it risky. Some factors can be:
- Some preexisting medical conditions (high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, epilepsy, thyroid disorder, etc.)
- Health conditions that are caused by pregnancy that make complications
- Some lifestyle factors (such as drinking excessive alcohol, smoking cigarettes, using tobacco, or consuming any other illegal substances)
- Advanced maternal age (pregnancy risk increases as you age)
- Multiple pregnancies or a history of failed pregnancies
