What are High Risk Obstetric Services?

Who is Considered High Risk?

An obstetrician might consider a woman to have a high-risk pregnancy if the patient experiences pre-term labor or is likely to experience early labor because of multiple pregnancies, or a history of pre-term labor. Women with cervical weakening, uterine or placental abnormalities may have high-risk pregnancies, as can women who have a history of late-term pregnancy loss or stillbirths.
