High-Risk Pregnancy

Your Michigan Answer for High-Risk Pregnancy Services

For an expecting mom, learning you have a high-risk pregnancy can cause overwhelming anxiety and quickly change your entire lifestyle. You need reassurance, answers and a plan you can trust. Turn to the expert team of University of Michigan Health maternal-fetal medicine specialists.

A high-risk pregnancy simply means there is a higher chance of complications for you or your baby. Common causes include high blood pressure, diabetes, carrying multiples, being over age 35 or past pregnancy complications. Normal pregnancies can also become high risk when there is a chance of preterm labor or growth problems. Common treatments include frequent monitoring, specialized ultrasounds, medications and even a planned early delivery. 

U-M Health is home to one of the few medical centers nationwide where labor and delivery is nestled within a comprehensive children’s hospital.
