High-Risk Pregnancy Care

Every pregnancy is unique—and some need extra care. A high-risk pregnancy may involve health concerns for the mother, baby, or both due to conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, advanced maternal age, or previous complications.

At Sincere Healthcare Group, we offer specialised care with experienced obstetricians, advanced screening, and personalised monitoring to manage risks and protect your well-being. Whether you’re anxious or uncertain, we’re here to guide you with clarity, compassion, and confidence—for a safe and supported pregnancy journey.

What Makes A Pregnancy High-Risk?

Maternal Age

Women under 18 or over 35 may face higher risks of pregnancy-related complications.

Pre-Existing Health Conditions

Conditions like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, kidney disorders, and autoimmune diseases can affect pregnancy.

Multiple Pregnancies

Carrying twins or more increases the risk of preterm labour, gestational diabetes, and other complications.

Previous Pregnancy - High-Risk Pregnancy

Previous Pregnancy Complications

A history of preterm birth, miscarriage, stillbirth, or caesarean section may indicate a need for closer monitoring.

Gestational Conditions

Issues like gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, or placental abnormalities can develop during pregnancy and require medical intervention.

IVF Pregnancies

These have a higher chance of complications like multiple births, high blood pressure, and premature delivery, making close monitoring essential for mother and baby.

How Are High-Risk Pregnancies Screened And Diagnosed?

Our specialists use advanced tools to assess maternal and foetal health, including detailed ultrasound scans to evaluate foetal growth and amniotic fluid levels, Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) to screen for chromosomal conditions, and Glucose Tolerance Tests (GTT) to identify gestational diabetes.

Pre-eclampsia screening helps assess the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension, while foetal Doppler studies monitor blood flow and detect any signs of distress in the baby. These assessments enable us to tailor care plans to each patient’s specific needs, promoting safer outcomes for both mother and child.

Managing High-Risk Pregnancies

High-risk pregnancies require close supervision and personalised management to minimise health risks and support a safe delivery. Our multidisciplinary team provides ongoing antenatal care tailored to individual risk factors. This may include medication and lifestyle guidance to control conditions such as hypertension and gestational diabetes, as well as bed rest and close monitoring for complications like placenta previa or cervical insufficiency.

We also conduct foetal surveillance using advanced imaging and cardiotocography (CTG) to monitor the baby’s wellbeing. In certain cases, planned induction or caesarean delivery may be recommended to ensure a safe birth.

Compassionate and comprehensive care, including termination of pregnancy services when necessary, is available to support all aspects of reproductive health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is considered a high-risk pregnancy?

A high-risk pregnancy is one in which the health or life of the mother or baby may be at greater risk due to existing medical conditions, pregnancy-related complications, or factors such as age, multiple pregnancies, or past obstetric history. These pregnancies require closer monitoring and specialised care.

What are the symptoms or warning signs of a high-risk pregnancy?

Warning signs may include severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, high blood pressure, severe headaches, swelling of the hands or face, reduced foetal movement, or signs of preterm labour. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

When should I see a doctor if I suspect my pregnancy may be high-risk?

You should consult a doctor as early as possible—ideally before conception or immediately after a positive pregnancy test—if you have underlying health issues or have experienced complications in past pregnancies. Early assessment helps create a safe and personalised care plan.

Can I have a healthy baby with a high-risk pregnancy?

Yes, many women with high-risk pregnancies go on to have healthy babies. With early diagnosis, regular monitoring, and expert medical care, potential risks can be managed effectively to support a positive pregnancy outcome.

What kind of care will I need during a high-risk pregnancy?

High-risk pregnancies often involve more frequent antenatal visits, specialised tests such as detailed ultrasounds or blood work, and consultations with obstetricians or maternal-foetal medicine specialists. Your care plan will be tailored to your specific needs to ensure the best outcomes for both mother and baby.
