Helping Lower the Risk of High-Risk Pregnancies

Various factors can increase your risk of complications before, during and after pregnancy:

• Underlying conditions, such as diabetes, epilepsy, a heart condition, high blood pressure or others
• Having a prior C-section, low-birth-weight or preterm baby
• Carrying two or more children at once
• Becoming pregnant at age 35 and older
• Lifestyle choices, such as drug consumption (including cigarettes and alcohol)
