Fertility & High-Risk Pregnancy Specialist

High-risk pregnancies require specialized monitoring and care. Understanding what makes a pregnancy "high-risk" and how a multi-disciplinary team manages your care can reduce anxiety significantly.

What is a High-Risk Pregnancy?

A pregnancy is classified as high-risk when the mother, baby, or both have a higher chance of health complications. This does not mean a poor outcome — it means heightened surveillance and specialized care.

Common Risk Factors

  • Advanced maternal age (above 35)
  • Multiple gestation (twins, triplets)
  • Gestational diabetes or pre-existing diabetes
  • Hypertension or pre-eclampsia
  • Previous pregnancy complications

Our Multi-Disciplinary Approach

At Global Mission Hospital, high-risk pregnancies are managed by a dedicated team including maternal-fetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, cardiologists, and endocrinologists working in coordination.
