What is a high-risk pregnancy?

High-risk pregnancy, to put it simply, is a pregnancy with higher risks. High-risk pregnancy is also known as pregnancy period. High-risk pregnancy will have higher risk factors for pregnancy and fetus, which may cause dystocia for pregnant women and/or seriously harm maternal and child products. This condition is called high-risk pregnancy. Pregnant women with high-risk pregnancy factors are called high-risk pregnant women.

Pregnant women suffering from various chronic diseases and cesarean section indications, as well as unfavorable natural environment and social factors, can all cause fetal death, fetal intrauterine growth retardation, developmental malformations, premature births, neonatal screening, etc., posing a high risk factor, thereby increasing the perinatal morbidity and mortality rates.

The morbidity and mortality rates of pregnant women and newborns in high-risk pregnancies are significantly higher than those in normal pregnancies. Therefore, every pregnant mother should go to the hospital for regular check-ups, cooperate with the selection of high-risk pregnancy, carry out systematic management during pregnancy, ensure early prevention, early detection, and early treatment, and promptly and effectively control the development of high-risk factors to avoid various risk conditions that may cause the death of the fetus and pregnant woman.
