A high-risk pregnancy is one where there are added medical risks to the mother and/or baby, calling for special attention and careful management. Those risks may stem from the mother’s health before pregnancy, or from conditions that develop during the pregnancy itself.
When a woman is carrying two or more babies, various medical difficulties or risks can arise, and the pregnancy needs close monitoring by the medical team. Among the risks: a meaningfully higher chance of preterm birth or premature babies, and a higher rate of medical issues in the mother such as anemia, high blood pressure, gestational diabetes, and more.
At the High-Risk Pregnancy Clinic and the Twins Clinic, patients are cared for by specialist doctors experienced in exactly these situations. Advanced equipment and years of accumulated knowledge help the team give the best possible support and care, and safeguard the health of both mother and baby. Appointments are readily available and easy to book online.
