Together, we partner with Northside Hospital Cherokee to focus on creating an individualized treatment plan to ensure the health of both mom and baby. A high-risk pregnancy can be a scary diagnosis, but our doctors carefully guide women through pregnancy and delivery by being proactive with treatment to minimize complications.
What Makes a Pregnancy High-Risk?
The label of high-risk is given for several reasons, including the following:
- Diabetes (this includes Type I, Type II, and gestational diabetes)
- Advanced Maternal Age — Women over the age of 35 are considered to be of advanced maternal age, and will need extra monitoring throughout the pregnancy.
- Preexisting Conditions — Women who have certain preexisting conditions may be considered high-risk. It is important to fully disclose health history so that you can be assessed as high-risk. This can include autoimmune disorders, seizure disorders, heart disease, or infectious diseases.
- Hypertension
