ABSTRACT

High-risk pregnancies require close monitoring and sometimes referral to a perinatal center, especially if women have complex high-risk conditions. However, sometimes it can be complicated by illnesses or medical conditions. Some five to ten percent of pregnancies are termed “high risk.” Certain conditions or characteristics, called risk factors, make a pregnancy high risk. Identifying high-risk pregnancies ensures that women who most need medical care receive it in a specialized centre. Several factors can make a pregnancy high risk, including existing health conditions, the mother’s age, lifestyle, and health issues that happen before or during pregnancy. A high-risk pregnancy diagnosis shouldn't automatically have a negative connotation. With proper care, 90 to 95 percent of high-risk pregnancies produce healthy and viable babies. The earlier a problem is detected, the better the chances that both mother and neonate will stay healthy. With the development of medical technology, pregnant women can be carefully monitored for signs and symptoms.

Key words: Birth weight, gestation, high-risk pregnancy, neonate, perinatal
