Understanding High-Risk Pregnancy
A high-risk pregnancy refers to a pregnancy in which there is an increased risk of complications for the mother, the baby, or both. Various factors may contribute to the classification of a pregnancy as high-risk, including:
- Maternal age (e.g., advanced maternal age or teenage pregnancy)
- Pre-existing medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, thyroid disease, and more )
- Pregnancy-related conditions (e.g., gestational diabetes, preeclampsia)
- Multiple gestations (e.g., twins, triplets)
- Previous pregnancy complications or losses
- Fetal abnormalities or genetic conditions
- Preterm Labor
- Fetal growth restriction
Our Approach to High-Risk Pregnancy Care
High-risk pregnancy care is essential for monitoring the health and well-being of both mother and baby, identifying any potential complications early on, and providing specialized interventions or treatments as needed.
- Comprehensive Evaluation: We conduct thorough assessments and diagnostic testing to evaluate the health and well-being of both mother and baby, identify any potential risks or complications, and develop personalized care plans tailored to individual needs.
- Specialized Monitoring: Our team provides specialized monitoring throughout the pregnancy, including regular prenatal visits, ultrasound screenings, fetal monitoring, and diagnostic testing, to ensure close surveillance of maternal and fetal health. This is performed in conjunction with our local, well-known Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialists who in a consultative role co-manage your pregnancy with us.
- Timely Interventions: We offer timely interventions and treatments to address any identified complications or risks, including medical management, obstetric interventions, and coordination of care with other specialists as needed.
