What is high risk pregnancy?

It can be understood as a series of elements that increase the chances of developing health problems during pregnancy, putting the life of the mother and the baby at risk. 

Origin and potential risks:

Among the main risk factors are heart disease, gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, alcoholism, smoking, and drug addiction. Other diseases, such as pre-eclampsia, autoimmune disorders, different types of cancer, and hormonal problems, can also increase the risk of a high-risk pregnancy.

They will largely depend on the underlying cause, although having high blood pressure or high blood sugar could point to a high-risk pregnancy. 

In order to diagnose and/or treat a high-risk pregnancy, it will be essential to know your medical and family history in case of high-risk pregnancies. It is also important that possible pre-existing diseases are identified and treated. It is necessary that, during pregnancy, your doctor keeps a timely monitoring of your blood pressure, blood sugar, and other types of hormonal parameters.

It is likely that you will be prescribed various studies (ultrasound, electrocardiograms, etc.), as well as laboratory tests, to recognize any risk and provide prompt care if it occurs. They could also recommend a consultation with specialists in different areas to assess risks and offer you comprehensive care.
