What is a High-Risk Pregnancy?

Posted by Dr. Rushabh Karnawat on March 19th, 2021

 A high-risk pregnancy threatens the health or life of the mother or her fetus. It often needs specialized care from particularly trained providers. Some pregnancies become a high risk as they grow, while some women are at enhanced risk for complications even before they get pregnant for several reasons. New and regular prenatal care helps many women have normal pregnancies and deliveries without complications. Consult Dr. Rushabh Karnawat Gynaecologist Baner.
