A few of these risk factors are:

  • Lung, kidney or heart problem.
  • Autoimmune disease.

  • Multiples: pregnancy with twins or more.
  • Young or old maternal age: pregnancy in teens and in women aged 35 or over.
  • Three or more miscarriages.

  • Other health problems also can make your pregnancy at high-risk.

If you have any of these factors, then your pregnancy is High-risk Pregnancy (HRP); and you must be under the care of an expert in HRP.
