What is a high-risk-pregnancy?

Sometimes, you know early on that your pregnancy is high-risk, and your doctor can provide specialized prenatal care. However, it’s also possible that unexpected complications may arise during labor and delivery.

Our maternal-fetal specialists can help with high-risk pregnancy conditions, such as:

  • Health conditions that exist before pregnancy, including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease and autoimmune disorders
