High-Risk Pregnancy Care
Specialized pregnancy care with enhanced monitoring for mothers and babies at elevated risk of health complications.
Overview
Legacy OB/GYN provides specialized care for pregnancies where the mother or baby has an elevated risk of health complications. The practice frames this designation as a protective measure rather than a cause for alarm, ensuring patients receive appropriate monitoring and attention throughout pregnancy. High-risk pregnancies may result from conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, tobacco use, obesity, maternal age over 35, prior miscarriage, or multiple gestations.
