High-Risk Maternal Conditions
We want to keep you and your baby as healthy as possible during pregnancy. Some chronic and acute conditions, as well as the medications used to treat them, may cause complications for you or your baby. If you have a chronic medical condition, it’s ideal to see a specialist before conceiving to optimize management of your condition during pregnancy.

- Asthma or other lung problems
- Autoimmune diseases such as lupus or arthritis
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular conditions

- Fibroids
- High blood pressure
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Kidney disease

Other High Risk Pregnancy Conditions
Even if you don’t have any pre-existing conditions, you may still need special attention when you become pregnant, including if you’re over 35 years old or are carrying more than one baby. These factors, among others, can contribute to the development of other conditions during pregnancy, including:
- Gestational diabetes
- High blood pressure (preeclampsia)
Whatever the condition, our team of specialists will work toward the best possible outcome: a healthy baby and a healthy you.
