What Is High-Risk Antenatal Care?
High-risk pregnancy care involves closer observation for mothers with health concerns, fetal complications, or pregnancy-related conditions that require more than standard checkups.
Conditions we monitor include:
- Pre-existing medical disorders (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disease)
- History of preterm birth, miscarriage, or cesarean delivery
- Placental problems (e.g., previa, abruption)
- Multiple pregnancy (twins or more)
- Fetal growth restriction or structural concerns
- Maternal age over 35
Care is proactive — not reactive — focused on early detection and informed decision-making.
When to Schedule Specialized Follow-Up
You should be seen regularly by a high-risk pregnancy team if:
- Your obstetrician has identified concerns needing specialist input
- You have new symptoms like bleeding, pain, or reduced fetal movement
- You’re anxious about your pregnancy due to prior loss or complications
- You’ve had a high-risk pregnancy before
- Your baby requires extra monitoring, growth scans, or Doppler assessments
Regular, structured follow-up offers reassurance — and helps catch problems early.
