High Risk Pregnancy Coral Springs:
What Are The Risk Factors?

There are cases when High Risk Pregnancy Coral Springs is sometimes caused by a medical condition present before the pregnancy. In some cases, a medical condition that develops during pregnancy for either you or your baby is what makes the pregnancy high risk. Here are specific factors to look into:

• Advanced maternal age – Pregnancy risks are higher for mothers older than age 35.
• Lifestyle choices – Smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and using illegal drugs can put a pregnancy at risk.
• Maternal health problems – High blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, epilepsy, thyroid disease, heart or blood disorders, poorly controlled asthma, and infections can increase pregnancy risks.
• Pregnancy complications – Various complications that develop during pregnancy can pose risks. Examples include an abnormal placenta position, fetal growth less than the 10th percentile for gestational age (fetal growth restriction) and rhesus (Rh) sensitization — a potentially serious condition that can occur when your blood group is Rh negative and your baby's blood group is Rh positive.
• Multiple pregnancy – Pregnancy risks are higher for women carrying twins or higher order multiples.
