High risk - what does this mean for me?

Question

Hey, I’ve just found out I’m pregnant, I am classed as high risk as last year I had an ectopic pregnancy & I also had treatment to have cervical cancer cells removed from my cervix so it’s now shorter. I have also recently found out I have CIN2 which means more cancerous cells have grown in my cervix 2/3rd deep. Ofcourse I can’t have treatment on that now because I’m pregnant. But I am wondering how they would treat me with high risk? Do I get regular scans/checks? If so how regular. Is there ways they can keep an eye on the cells in the cervix without interfering with the pregnancy?

Answer

It’s different for everyone and really depends on what makes you high risk. Me and 3 of my friends have had high risk pregnancies and we all had a different experience.

Answer

I'm high risk as well and yes I received weekly scans, due to what's going on with you I believe you'd receive weekly checks especially due to your cervix. But as someone else stated they'll give you a plan on what should be expected and you could always ask for weekly checks as well.

Answer

Every high risk pregnancy is different so you will get your own personalised plan. No one can really say exactly what will happen for YOU. Speak with your midwife and ask them. 
I’m high risk too due to premature labour and a couple of genetic issues in the family. I’m under the care of preterm clinic and a consultant.
