A pregnancy may be considered high-risk due to conditions such as high blood pressure (PIH), gestational diabetes, thyroid disorders, anemia, recurrent miscarriages, twin or multiple pregnancies, advanced maternal age, previous cesarean deliveries, preterm labor, fetal growth concerns, or other medical complications. Such conditions require regular evaluations, timely investigations, and expert medical intervention to ensure the best possible outcomes.
