Why High-Risk Pregnancy Needs Specialised Care
A pregnancy is called high-risk when the chances of complications are higher for the mother, the baby, or both. This does not mean that something will definitely go wrong, but it does mean that pregnancy needs closer monitoring, timely interventions and a carefully planned delivery.
With the right care, many women with high-risk pregnancy still have a safe, healthy delivery. Under the supervision of an experienced obstetrician like Dr. Sarika Jaiswal at Zenith Hospital, Indore, most risks can be reduced and managed with medication, monitoring and proper planning.
- Early detection of complications
- Regular scans and tests to track baby’s growth
- Safe control of blood pressure, sugar or other conditions
- Preparedness for emergency if needed
- Well-planned timing and mode of delivery
Warning Signs in High-Risk Pregnancy
During a high-risk pregnancy, certain symptoms should never be ignored. Immediate medical attention can protect both mother and baby.
- Severe or persistent headache, dizziness or blurred vision
- Sudden swelling of face, hands or feet
- Very high or suddenly rising blood pressure readings
- Persistent abdominal or pelvic pain
- Bleeding, spotting or fluid leakage from the vagina
- Decreased or absent fetal movements
- Excessive nausea, vomiting or inability to eat
- Shortness of breath, chest pain or extreme fatigue
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact your doctor or visit the hospital immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to settle on their own.
When Should You See a High-Risk Pregnancy Specialist?
You should consult an experienced obstetrician like Dr. Sarika Jaiswal early in pregnancy, especially if:
- You have high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid or kidney disease
- You had a previous miscarriage, stillbirth or preterm delivery
- You are carrying twins or multiple babies
- You conceived through IVF or assisted reproductive techniques
- You are above 35 years of age during pregnancy
- You have heart disease, autoimmune or clotting disorders
Early registration and regular follow-ups help in better planning and safer outcomes in high-risk pregnancies.
Common Causes of High-Risk Pregnancy
Several medical and pregnancy-related conditions can make a pregnancy high-risk. Common causes include:
- Pre-existing high blood pressure or hypertension in pregnancy
- Gestational diabetes or pre-pregnancy diabetes
- Thyroid imbalance affecting mother and baby
- Previous history of miscarriage, stillbirth or preterm birth
- Placenta previa, low-lying placenta or placental abruption
- Multiple pregnancy (twins, triplets, etc.)
- Anaemia or immune-related conditions
- IVF or assisted conception pregnancies
Who Is at Higher Risk of Complications?
Some women may have higher risk of complications due to:
- Advanced maternal age (35 years or more)
- Very young age with associated health issues
- Obesity, PCOS or metabolic syndrome
- Heart, kidney or autoimmune diseases
- Smoking, alcohol consumption or substance use
- Family history of pregnancy complications or birth defects
Being high-risk does not mean pregnancy cannot be safe — it simply means you need closer observation, lifestyle care and expert supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions – High-Risk Pregnancy
Here are some common questions women and families ask about high-risk pregnancy care in Indore with Dr. Sarika Jaiswal.
1. What is considered a high-risk pregnancy?
A pregnancy is called high-risk when the chances of complications are higher than usual for the mother, baby or both. This may be due to high BP, diabetes, thyroid, twins, previous pregnancy losses, age above 35 or other medical conditions.
2. Can high-risk pregnancy still have a normal delivery?
In many cases, yes. If the mother and baby are stable and conditions are well controlled, normal delivery may still be possible. The final decision is taken close to delivery depending on the latest reports and clinical findings.
3. Will I need more frequent scans and tests?
High-risk pregnancies usually need more frequent check-ups, scans and tests to ensure everything is progressing safely. Your doctor will advise a customised schedule based on your condition.
4. Do I have to be admitted for high-risk pregnancy?
Not always. Some high-risk pregnancies can be managed with regular OPD follow-ups. Admission is advised only when necessary, such as for very high blood pressure, uncontrolled sugars or signs of preterm labour or fetal distress.
5. Can lifestyle changes improve high-risk pregnancy outcomes?
Yes. A healthy diet, adequate hydration, good sleep, stress reduction, avoiding smoking and alcohol, and regular gentle activity (if allowed by your doctor) can all help improve pregnancy outcomes, even in high-risk cases.
6. Is high-risk pregnancy always dangerous?
It means extra care is needed, but with modern medicine and proper follow-up, many high-risk pregnancies have safe outcomes. The key is not to ignore medical advice or skip follow-up visits.
7. Can I travel if my pregnancy is high-risk?
Travel decisions depend on your specific condition, pregnancy week and mode of travel. Always check with your doctor before planning any journey, especially long-distance travel.
8. What should I do if I feel baby movements are reduced?
If you feel that your baby is moving less than usual or movements suddenly decrease, you should contact your doctor or visit the hospital immediately. Do not wait to “see if it improves”.
9. Is high BP in pregnancy serious?
High blood pressure in pregnancy can affect both mother and baby if not controlled. With regular monitoring, medication and sometimes planned delivery, risks can be reduced significantly.
10. How early should I consult if I know I am high-risk?
Ideally, as soon as pregnancy is confirmed — or even before conceiving, for preconception counselling. The earlier the care begins, the better the planning and outcomes.
