Sometimes, women who are pregnant are considered “high-risk.” You may have a high-risk pregnancy if you have certain chronic health problems or face unexpected problems during pregnancy like high blood pressure, early labor, or bleeding. BMC’s maternal-fetal medicine physicians are specialists in caring for women with high-risk pregnancies and will help ensure you and your baby stay as healthy as possible throughout your pregnancy.
