If you have any concerns about your pregnancy, call their office in the Midtown East area of New York City, or schedule an appointment online for a high-risk pregnancy consult.

What Is a High-Risk Pregnancy?

A high-risk pregnancy means you or your baby face a greater chance of complications during pregnancy, labor, or after delivery. This can happen because of a chronic health condition you had before becoming pregnant. It could also happen because a new health concern develops during pregnancy. Several factors can place a pregnancy in the high-risk category, including:

• Mother aged 35 and older
• Carrying multiple babies (twins, triplets, or more)
• Baby diagnosed with birth defects
• History of a previous baby with birth defects
• Prior low birth weight baby or early delivery
• Previous pregnancy complications
• Underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, or kidney disease

Having a high-risk pregnancy means you need a higher level of care, more frequent prenatal visits, and sometimes additional testing or treatment.

Recognizing the Symptoms of a High-Risk Pregnancy

Some high-risk pregnancies are identified at the very first prenatal visit based on medical history. Others become apparent as the pregnancy progresses. Symptoms that may indicate a complication requiring closer monitoring include:

• Severe or persistent abdominal pain
• Heavy bleeding or unusual spotting
• Sudden swelling in the face, hands, or feet
• Severe headaches or vision changes
• Reduced fetal movement after 28 weeks
• Signs of preterm labor include pelvic pressure or regular contractions before 37 weeks

If you experience any of these symptoms, we encourage you to contact our office right away. Early intervention almost always leads to better outcomes.

What Is Maternal and Fetal Medicine?

Maternal and fetal medicine is a subspecialty of obstetrics focused on managing complex and high-risk pregnancies. Our physicians completed extensive additional training beyond standard OB/GYN certification to become specialists in this field. We are prepared to address the medical, surgical, obstetrical, and genetic complications that can arise during a high-risk pregnancy. Our goal is to keep you as healthy as possible and give your baby the best possible start.

Care for High-Risk Pregnancy at Rosh MFM

No two high-risk pregnancies are alike, and we approach each one with individualized attention. In addition to routine prenatal care, we offer a full range of specialized services and diagnostic procedures, including:

• Targeted ultrasound and 3D or 4D ultrasound
• Amniocentesis
• Chorionic villus sampling (CVS)
• Cordocentesis
• Cervical length measurement
• Cervical cerclage

Our team also coordinates care with other specialists when needed, so you receive well-rounded support throughout your pregnancy. Communication stays open at every step and makes sure you understand your options before any decision is made.

Can Preconception Care Lower Your Risk?

In some cases, the answer is yes. While factors like age, genetics, or complications from a previous pregnancy cannot always be changed, underlying health conditions and lifestyle factors often can be addressed before conception. Preconception care begins with a thorough evaluation to identify potential concerns, followed by treatment to bring any chronic conditions under control before you try to conceive. Starting this process well ahead of your planned pregnancy gives your body time to respond to treatment and reach a healthier baseline.
