High-risk pregnancy
Overview
For the vast majority of women, pregnancy follows a routine course. 然而，有些妇女有与她们的健康或婴儿的健康有关的医疗困难. These women experience what is called a high-risk pregnancy.

Causes
A pregnancy may be considered high-risk for a variety of reasons. Some of these include:
- 母亲在怀孕前就有疾病，比如糖尿病
- 母亲在怀孕期间出现疾病，如先兆子痫
- The mother experienced problems in a previous pregnancy, such as miscarriage
- Problems are detected in the developing baby
- Complications occur during pregnancy, such as premature labor
- The mother is pregnant with multiples (twins or more)
在加州大学旧金山分校，我们治疗所有可能影响女性怀孕的疾病. Our doctors have special training in treating diabetes in pregnancy, preterm labor, recurrent miscarriages, and fetal abnormalities.
Testing
Fortunately, 技术进步有助于改善对高危孕妇的诊断和治疗. UCSF provides specialized fetal imaging techniques, such as MRI, to detect various conditions in the mother and baby. Our Prenatal Diagnosis Center offers the latest tests used to evaluate a developing baby. Some of these tests are available in only a few centers nationwide, and can be performed as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy.
Multiples
多胞胎并不一定意味着你的怀孕会有问题. However, 怀多胞胎的女性确实更有可能出现高血压和早产等并发症. For this reason, all multiple pregnancies are considered high-risk.
Prenatal care
由于并发症的风险较高，期待多胞胎的妇女需要特殊的产前护理. At UCSF, some of the differences in prenatal care include:
- More frequent visits. We schedule prenatal visits more frequently than for a singleton pregnancy, so we can watch for early signs of complications.
- Additional testing. Because multiples and their moms are more likely to develop complications, they need more tests to diagnose problems and monitor fetal development. 超声波检查每四到六周进行一次，以确保你的宝宝正常生长. You also may decide to have additional genetic testing, although it can be more complicated to test multiples than singletons. Your provider or a genetic counselor at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center can answer any questions you have about which tests are best for you.

Premature birth
多胎妊娠被认为风险较高的原因之一是，50%的多胎妊娠早产. A premature delivery occurs prior to 37 weeks of gestation, while a normal full-term pregnancy lasts 38 to 42 weeks. Every effort is made to prolong your pregnancy as long as possible, 为了减少婴儿早产时可能发生的一些风险. Premature infants may have problems with breathing and digesting.
