What is considered a high-risk pregnancy?

A high-risk pregnancy requires closer monitoring due to certain factors that may increase the risk of complications for the mother, baby, or both. These may include:

• Being pregnant younger than 17 or older than 35
• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Multiple pregnancies, such as twins or triplets
• Previous pregnancy complications
• Certain genetic conditions
• Autoimmune disorders
• History of miscarriage or preterm labor
• Pregnancy-related conditions such as preeclampsia

Lifestyle factors, infections, or complications that develop during pregnancy may also increase risk levels. With specialized prenatal care, many women with high-risk pregnancies go on to deliver healthy babies.

What are the benefits of high-risk pregnancy care?

Benefits of high-risk pregnancy care at Southwest Florida Women's Group may include:

Frequent prenatal visits allow Southwest Florida Women's Group to track your health and your baby’s progress more carefully. This can help address concerns before they become more serious, and the team prioritizes your peace of mind.

What can I expect throughout my high-risk pregnancy?

Every high-risk pregnancy is unique, so your care plan will be too. Alongside more frequent prenatal appointments, your Southwest Florida Women's Group provider may recommend:

• Regular ultrasounds to monitor fetal growth

• Blood tests or genetic screening
• Nonstress testing to evaluate the baby’s heart rate
• Diabetes screening or glucose monitoring

You may also receive recommendations on how to support a healthy pregnancy with tailored diet and exercise plans, medications, or activity restrictions.

It’s also important to communicate openly with your provider about symptoms or concerns. Let them know if you experience:

• Severe swelling
• Bleeding
• Strong headaches
• Contractions
• Decreased fetal movement

A high-risk pregnancy can feel overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.
