Pregnancy Risk Factors

Risks exist throughout every pregnancy. Any pregnancy that entails elevated health risks for the expectant mother, the foetus, or both is referred to as a "high-risk" pregnancy. Prior to, during, and 
following childbirth, high-risk pregnant women may require additional care. The likelihood of  problems is lessened as a result. It doesn't necessarily follow that you or your foetus will experience 
issues if you are pregnant, though, if it is a high-risk pregnancy. Despite having unique medical  requirements, many people have safe pregnancies and regular labour and delivery. Pregnancy is at 
higher risk when certain conditions exist.

- health issues that already exist.

- health issues associated with pregnancy.

- living conditions (including smoking, drug addiction, alcohol abuse and exposure to certain toxins).

- Age (being above 35 or under 17 while pregnant) (being over 35 or under 17 when pregnant).
