High Risk Pregnancy Care<\/strong><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Perinatology is a subspecialty of obstetrics that is concerned with the care of the fetus during high-risk pregnancies. Women who are a higher risk of developing problems or complications during pregnancy are often sent to a perinatologist to ensure the pregnancy is as healthy as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Factors that Increase the Chance of a High-Risk Pregnancy<\/h2><\/div>

Conditions that result in a pregnancy being considered high risk include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Preeclampsia<\/strong> \u2013 Preeclampsia is when a pregnant women has dangerously high blood pressure and large amounts of protein in her urine. The condition typically occurs around week 32 of pregnancy. A perinatologist will be able to help a woman suffering from preeclampsia stay healthy throughout the remaining weeks of her pregnancy.<\/li>\n
  • Preterm Labor<\/strong> \u2013 Preterm labor is when labor starts between weeks 20 \u2013 37. The earlier the delivery, the greater the chance the baby\u2019s organs will be underdeveloped. Preterm labor is often stopped with medications and women are usually allowed limited mobility until after week 37.<\/li>\n
  • Slowed growth for the baby<\/strong> \u2013 Fetal growth restriction can be caused by placental abnormalities and hypertension during pregnancy.<\/li>\n
  • Maternal age<\/strong> \u2013 If a woman is under 17 or more than 35, they are at a higher risk of pregnancy complications and will be monitored throughout pregnancy.<\/li>\n
  • Weight<\/strong> \u2013 If a person is classified as underweight or obese, a pregnancy can be considered high-risk and dangerous. Please check with your physician prior to trying to conceive in order to ensure you\u2019re at a healthy weight for pregnancy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
