High Risk Pregnancy
High-risk pregnancies include any pregnancy where there may be an increased risk to the health of either the mother, the foetus or both. Mothers with high-risk pregnancies may need extra care and attention pre-, during and post-birth, such that they can be monitored at all stages to ensure that complications are kept to a minimum.
High-risk pregnancies are quite common in India. A study based in India observed that nearly fifty per cent of the pregnancies in India can be classified as high-risk.
High-risk pregnancies can also be a result of pre-existing health conditions some of which may include:
Increased blood pressure (Also called Hypertension)
Diabetes or ineffective insulin regulation
Lupus, an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system may attack itself
Genetic factors may affect you or your family, in case you have a history of conditions which are hereditary, then there may be a risk associated with acquiring the condition.
In such cases, monitoring of the foetus is essential to keep an eye on its health.
Pre-eclampsia is a condition associated with high blood pressure and protein in urine.
Not all mothers with pre-existing conditions are likely to develop high-risk pregnancies. There may be other factors which may contribute to the risk level of a pregnancy.
Certain age groups are more likely to have a risk-associated pregnancy. Mothers bearing multiple babies (twins or more) may also contribute to risk factors since more monitoring might be required in both situations.
