 Is
your pregnancy at a greater risk than other women?
While all pregnancies carry a certain risk to them, some
pregnancies have more than the average pregnancy when it
comes to risk factors. A pregnancy can be deemed high risk
for a variety of reasons including:
» Repeated Pregnancy Loss
» Gestational Diabetes
» Type I Diabetes
» Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH)
» Placental Problems
» Preeclampsia/Ecclampsia
» Chronic Hypertension
» History or Current Bout of Preterm Labor (PTL)
» Multiples (Twins or Higher)
» Other Risk Factors as Determined by Your Team
Dr. Kobren and his medical team will help decide
the best care for your pregnancy. It may require more prenatal
visits, increased testing and fetal surveillance for the
duration of your pregnancy or for a certain portion of the
pregnancy. You will talk about treatment options and figure
out the best course of action. This can include bed rest,
hospitalization, and other interventions or medications.
