If your doctor has informed you that your pregnancy is high risk, relax — it’s not the end of the world.
High risk doesn’t always mean life-threatening. And it is certainly not a term that should elicit feelings of fear and doom.
It’s merely a classification that many healthcare providers use to indicate pregnancies where there is a greater chance of a health problem occurring. Labeling a pregnancy as high risk helps you and baby get the special attention you need to ensure the best outcome.
