What Is Considered a High-Risk Pregnancy?

A pregnancy may be considered high risk when there is a higher chance of complications that require closer monitoring or specialized care.

Common reasons include:

• Advanced maternal age (35+)
• High blood pressure / preeclampsia
• Gestational diabetes
• Multiple gestation (twins or more)
• History of preterm birth
• Previous C-section or uterine surgery
• Placenta previa or placental abnormalities
• Fetal growth restriction
• Autoimmune or chronic medical conditions
• Fibroids impacting pregnancy
• IVF pregnancies or fertility-assisted conceptions

Whether you have an existing condition or something new arises during pregnancy, our team ensures you receive meticulous, proactive care every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions About High-Risk Pregnancy

Do high-risk patients need more ultrasounds?

Yes. We typically perform additional ultrasounds to monitor fetal growth, amniotic fluid, and placental function.

Will I need to deliver early?

Not always. We determine timing based on fetal well-being, maternal stability, and national guidelines.

Can I still have a vaginal delivery?

Many high-risk patients safely deliver vaginally. Dr. Kim will review your specific situation and recommend the safest route of delivery.

What if I’m transferring care late in pregnancy?

We accept late transfers, including high-risk and international patients, and will coordinate a seamless transition.
