The Best Treatment For High-Risk Pregnancy - Medicover
Sometimes, women can have extra challenges during pregnancy because of their age, health history, or existing health problems. If a pregnant woman has issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid problems, PCOS, being overweight, fibroids, or HIV/AIDS, her pregnancy is called high-risk. These women, along with others who have health problems, get special care from doctors who work together.
