Hearing the words “high-risk pregnancy” can feel overwhelming—but it shouldn’t mean panic. At North Carolina OBGYN and Midwifery, we provide expert high-risk pregnancy care to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re dealing with underlying medical conditions, age-related risks, or complications that arise during pregnancy, our team of OBGYNs and certified nurse midwives in Raleigh, Cary, and Holly Springs is here to guide you with compassionate, personalized care.
What Is a High-Risk Pregnancy?
A pregnancy is considered high-risk when there’s an increased chance of complications that could affect the health of the mother, baby, or both. These risks can be present before conception or develop during pregnancy. Common pregnancy risk factors include:
- Maternal age under 17 or over 35
- High blood pressure or diabetes
- Obesity or underweight
- Multiple pregnancies (twins or more)
- History of miscarriage or preterm birth
- Autoimmune disorders or chronic illness
- Preeclampsia or gestational diabetes
- Lifestyle factors like smoking or substance use
If one or more of these risk factors apply, you may need advanced prenatal care and closer high-risk pregnancy monitoring throughout your pregnancy journey.
