High-Risk Pregnancy Care FAQs
What makes my pregnancy high-risk?
You may be considered high-risk if you have pre-existing health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or autoimmune disorders—or if complications arise during pregnancy, like abnormal ultrasounds or bleeding. Age, a history of pregnancy loss, carrying multiples, or undergoing IVF can also increase your risk profile. Dr. Thompson will help you understand your specific situation and what steps can be taken to keep both you and your baby safe.
Do I need to change how often I come in for appointments?
Yes. High-risk pregnancies often require more frequent check-ins. Dr. Thompson will schedule appointments based on your needs, ensuring every detail is carefully tracked. And because he limits the number of patients he sees, you’ll never feel rushed or overlooked.
Can I have a normal delivery with a high-risk pregnancy?
Yes, in many cases, a vaginal delivery is still possible. The goal of high-risk care is to manage complications early and thoroughly so your delivery—whether vaginal or cesarean—is safe and planned with precision. Dr. Thompson works closely with you to develop a delivery strategy tailored to your health, your baby’s needs, and your birth preferences.
Do I need to see multiple specialists?
Sometimes, yes—but you won’t need to manage that coordination on your own. If your pregnancy calls for input from a perinatologist, genetic counselor, or another specialist, Dr. Thompson will handle all referrals, communication with the additional physicians, and follow-up. He remains your primary provider, ensuring your care stays seamless and centered around your unique needs.
What extra testing might I need?
High-risk pregnancies often require more frequent ultrasounds, genetic testing, bloodwork, or fetal monitoring. Depending on your unique situation, Dr. Thompson may recommend advanced imaging like fetal echocardiograms or Doppler studies or prenatal screenings such as cell-free DNA, carrier screening, or amniocentesis. Every test is discussed with you in advance, and nothing is done without your full understanding and consent.
Can I still travel during a high-risk pregnancy?
In some cases, yes—but it depends on your condition, your gestational age, and whether you’re stable. Travel may be limited during the third trimester or if you’re at risk of preterm labor. Dr. Thompson will give you clear, specific guidance based on your travel plans.
