What is a High-Risk Pregnancy?

A high-risk pregnancy is one that threatens the health or life of the mother or her fetus. It often requires specialized care from specially trained providers. Some pregnancies become high risk as they progress, while some women are at increased risk for complications even before they get pregnant for a variety of reasons. Early and regular prenatal care helps many women have healthy pregnancies and deliveries without complications. Consult Dr. Mrunal Kapadnis Gynaecologist and Obstetrician in Nashik.
