What is a High-Risk Pregnancy?
A high-risk pregnancy is one where the mother, baby, or both are at an increased risk of complications during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. Such pregnancies demand extra attention and care to minimize risks and ensure a safe outcome.

Lifestyle and Age Factors:

Fetal Concerns:
