The definition of a high-risk pregnancy is any pregnancy that carries increased health risks for you, the fetus or both. People with high-risk pregnancies may need extra medical care before, during and after they give birth. This helps to reduce the possibility and severity of complications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">But having a pregnancy that\u2019s considered high risk doesn\u2019t mean you or the fetus will have health problems. Many people experience healthy pregnancies and normal\u00a0labor and delivery\u00a0despite having special health needs leading up to the birth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">It can be easy to panic and worry when you hear your pregnancy care provider say your pregnancy is at a higher risk. You\u2019re not alone. It doesn\u2019t mean your pregnancy will automatically be difficult. It may just mean your pregnancy care team watches you more closely. Trust your healthcare team\u2019s recommendations and ask them for help managing your feelings. Many people have high-risk pregnancies, and most end in healthy babies. Routine prenatal care can help ensure your pregnancy is safe, even if it\u2019s high risk.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"text-gray-900 font-bold leading-rem24px text-rem20px bp600:text-rem25px bp600:leading-rem30px mt-rem32px mb-rem16px break-words \" data-identity=\"headline\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>How common is high-risk pregnancy?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">Approximately 30,000 to 50,000 pregnant women (between 6% and 8%) in the U.S. have high-risk pregnancies per year.<\/p>\n<h2 data-identity=\"headline\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"text-gray-900 font-bold leading-rem34px text-rem32px bp600:text-rem40px bp600:leading-rem44px mt-rem56px mb-rem16px break-words\" data-identity=\"headline\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Symptoms and Causes<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"\" data-identity=\"rich-text\">\n<h3 class=\"text-gray-900 font-bold leading-rem30px text-rem25px bp600:text-rem32px bp600:leading-rem38px mt-rem32px mb-rem16px break-words \" data-identity=\"headline\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>What qualifies a pregnancy as high risk?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">A high-risk pregnancy means you have a higher-than-average risk of experiencing a pregnancy complication.
