Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a pregnancy high-risk?
Factors include maternal age over 35, pre-existing conditions (diabetes, hypertension), pregnancy complications (preeclampsia, placenta previa), multiple pregnancies, history of preterm birth, and certain infections or genetic factors.
Can high-risk pregnancies have good outcomes?
Yes, with proper medical management and monitoring, the vast majority of high-risk pregnancies result in healthy mothers and babies. Early identification and expert care are key to good outcomes.
Will I need a C-section if my pregnancy is high-risk?
Not necessarily. Many high-risk pregnancies can proceed with vaginal delivery. The mode of delivery depends on the specific risk factors and is decided based on what is safest for both mother and baby.
