HIGH RISK PREGNANCY
PRE ECLAMPSIA
Pre eclampsia is a serious condition in pregnancy marked by high blood pressure and often protein in the urine, usually appearing after 20 weeks gestation. It risks damage to organs like the liver and kidneys, and can be life-threatening for both mother and baby if untreated. Early detection and management, often through delivery and medications, are crucial to prevent complications such as eclampsia (seizures) and organ failure.
Multiple pregnancy
A multiple pregnancy occurs when a woman carries more than one baby, such as twins or triplets. It can result from fertilization of several eggs (fraternal) or splitting of one egg (identical). Factors like older maternal age and fertility treatments increase risk. These pregnancies carry higher chances of complications, including premature birth and low birth weight, and require closer monitoring throughout gestation for maternal and fetal health.
Previous cesarean pregnancy
A previous cesarean pregnancy refers to a pregnancy in a woman who has previously delivered a baby through a cesarean section (C-section) surgery. This history is important because it may influence the current pregnancy's management, risks, and delivery approach. Women with a prior cesarean have a higher chance of uterine rupture, placenta previa, or adhesions during subsequent pregnancies. Healthcare providers may recommend a repeat cesarean or consider a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC), depending on individual circumstances.
