What is a high-risk pregnancy?

A high-risk pregnancy is one that puts the mother's or the fetus's life in danger. It frequently needs specific care from professionals with specialised training. While some pregnancies grow in danger as they go along, for a number of reasons, some women are already predisposed to difficulties before they get pregnant. Many women in Delhi benefit from early and frequent prenatal care to have healthy pregnancies and straightforward births.

Risk factors for a high-risk pregnancy can include:

  • existing health issues, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or HIV positivity

  • Obesity and overweight. High blood pressure, hypertension, gestational diabetes, stillbirth, neural tube abnormalities, and caesarean delivery are all risks that are exacerbated by obesity. According to NICHD researchers, obesity can increase a baby's risk of having a cardiac condition at birth by 15%.

  • a number of births. When a woman is carrying several foetuses, difficulties are more likely to occur (twins and higher-order multiples). Preeclampsia, early labour, and preterm birth are typical consequences. More than 50% of twin births and as many as 93% of triplet births occur before 37 weeks of gestation.

  • either a young or old mother. Preeclampsia and gestational high blood pressure are more likely to develop in pregnant teenagers and women who are 35 years of age or older.

Women with high-risk pregnancies in New Delhi should receive care from a special team of health care providers to ensure the best possible outcomes. For more information, schedule an appointment with Dr Tuhina Goel.
