If your pregnancy is considered high-risk, it means that you or your baby might be more likely than usual to develop health problems before, during or after delivery.
Due to that risk, you may need extra medical appointments or tests during your pregnancy. At those appointments, your healthcare team checks to see if you may be developing any health problems and treats them quickly if they happen.
Learn about what it means to have a high-risk pregnancy. And find out what you can do to take care of yourself and your baby.
