What makes a pregnancy high risk?

Question

For the ladies who have had high risk pregnancies, please enlighten me. I have had 2 wonderful, text book pregnancies so I've never had to deal with any problems. What made your pregnancy high risk?

Answer

🙄
I'm not even pregnant, but why does your post come across as so rude? Enlighten me.

Answer

I don’t think it was rude, I genuinely just thought she was interested. The phrase “enlighten me” doesn’t constitute a rude remark. 
First pregnancy: My daughter has severe IUGR (Growth restriction) was born at 4 pounds at 37 weeks gestation. Pregnancy was high risk from 19 weeks on and monitored weekly, with two ultrasounds a week and a stress test between the two ultrasounds. Also has sever placental calcification. 
Second pregnancy: High risk because of precious high risk issues and history of placental calcification. Delivered him at 24 weeks and he died three days later because of an placental abruption because my placenta prematurely separated from the uterine wall. 
Third pregnancy: Again high risk from previous problems, he also had IUGR, was born at 36 weeks but was ultimately good and had a 9/9 APGAR score and was released in less than 48 hours.

Answer

For two pregnancies it was my age. And in one pregnancy I had GD.

Answer

I was high risk with my first because of history of miscarriage and when I had gone to the hospital with dizzy spells they confirmed I was pregnant but later tried to tell me I was miscarrying and for a few weeks they insisted my pregnancy wasn’t a viable one so I was referred to high risk automatically, I also ended up developing gestational diabetes while pregnant with my first so that contributed. With my current pregnancy I was actually diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic a little less than a year after my first daughter was born and because of my history with early signs of preeclampsia and the diabetes, the regular ob at my primary physicians office refused to see me as she didn’t feel she had the expertise to deal with a diabetic pregnancy.

Answer

I had preeclampsia with my daughter. She ended up being born 2 months early. Because of that, I will always be high risk. I got it with my son too but they watched me close and got me to 37 weeks. This time we are hoping for the same result.

Answer

Bleeding in the beginning then I got GD then preeclampsia, I'll always be high risk due to my previous preeclampsia

Answer

I am currently pregnant (only 6 weeks) and considered to be high risk by my OBGYN because I have a previous heart condition (I’ve seen the cardiologist and everything is fine and shouldn’t cause issues with pregnancies). So it’s more of a precaution title and I just get to see my OBGYN more often and earlier then most people ( my first apt in actually on Thursday).

Answer
