High-risk factors can include maternal age (such as pregnancies in women over the age of 35), medical conditions present before pregnancy like hypertension or diabetes, conditions that develop during pregnancy like preeclampsia, or carrying multiples such as twins or triplets.
Additionally, a history of preterm labor, recurrent pregnancy loss, or previous pregnancy complications also categorizes as a high-risk pregnancy .
