How to Deal With a High-Risk Pregnancy
High Risk Pregnancy sounds quite critical and it
may be life threatening for both the baby and the
mother. If you are having a high-risk pregnancy,
it connotes that you and your baby are more prone
to health issues during the time of pregnancy and
delivery and these effects may even be seen
beyond that in life. The health issues may vary
from minor problems to high risk conditions.

The Cause of High-Risk Pregnancy
Complications can arise at any point before or
during the pregnancy. Good nutrition, healthy
lifestyle and proper medical treatment are the
measures which help in avoiding the risk during
pregnancy. Yet, there are some conditions which
may occur before you becoming pregnant leading to
high-risk pregnancy. Some of those causes are
1.Before Pregnancy
2.During Pregnancy

Before Pregnancy
  • The age of mother
  • Overweight or underweight
  • Past history of complication during pregnancy
  • Already existing diseases like High blood
  • pressure,diabetes etc.

During Pregnancy
  • Preeclampsia is a condition where the occurrence
    of high blood pressure, change in levels of
    urinary protein and liver enzymes may lead to an
    effect on kidneys, liver and brain.
  • HIV/AIDS is the disorder which may even be
    transferred to the babies during pregnancy. This
    may occur either while giving birth or during the
    process of breastfeeding. This disease is
    powerful enough to damage the cells responsible
    for your immunity and may become a cause for
    certain cancers.
  • Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes which
    occur only in pregnant women. It is that type of
    diabetes which occurs only during your pregnancy
    and did not exist before your pregnancy.

Despite having the family and loved ones around
to take due care of you in this stage of

are aware of the signs or symptoms so that you
can seek right care in case of any emergency.

way of exercising. You may seek your doctors

the risk you are concerned with in the context of
your pregnancy. They should be aware that you
presume this period to be a stressful time and
why you dont find this to be easy. Clearly
explain to them the kind of support you are
expecting from them.
14
Living Stress-Free
Pregnancy is usually associated with hormonal
changes as well. And, when you are having a
high-risk pregnancy, you should definitely take
certain actions which give you ways to release
your stress and be stress-free. Taking time out
for oneself and spending time relaxing and
meditating are some great stress busters.

women in your area. You may also like to get in
touch with those women who had faced some
complications or had dealt with high-risk
pregnancy. Their personal sharing will give you
