High-Risk Pregnancy

Specialized care for complex pregnancies

About High-Risk Pregnancy

A high-risk pregnancy requires extra attention and expertise. At Garden OB/GYN, we provide specialized care for women whose pregnancies involve additional medical complexities. Our experienced providers work closely with maternal-fetal medicine specialists to monitor your health and your baby's development with advanced testing and more frequent visits, giving you the best possible outcome.

What to Expect

High-risk prenatal care involves more frequent office visits, additional ultrasounds, and specialized testing such as non-stress tests, biophysical profiles, and detailed anatomy scans. Your provider will create a customized care plan based on your specific risk factors. You'll have direct access to our team for any concerns between visits, and we coordinate closely with hospital specialists to ensure seamless care through delivery.

Who Is This For?

Women with risk factors including advanced maternal age (35+), multiple pregnancies (twins or more), pre-existing conditions like diabetes or hypertension, history of preterm birth or pregnancy loss, and pregnancies with diagnosed fetal conditions.
