“High Risk Pregnancy”
Rosanne's Perspective
High risk is not a number and often reflects what makes your doctor uncomfortable rather than actual statistical danger
Dr. Fischbein explains that VBAC has a 1 in 1200 risk of serious complications (same as Down syndrome at age 25) yet is labeled high risk, while a healthy 40-year-old man's heart disease risk of 1 in 100 is considered low risk.

High risk pregnancy has no official medical definition and is often what makes your obstetrician uncomfortable rather than actual statistical risk
Dr. Stuart Fischbein explains that the American College of OB GYN considers pregnancy itself a high risk condition, and no single woman makes it through pregnancy without at least one problem on their medical list.
