anyone else high risk?

mommy826

In Aug of 04 I delivered my beautiful daughter by emergency c-section due to a decrease in her heart tones and labor induced preeclampsia. After the delivery my daughter was perfectly fine but my hypertension never resolved on its own, in return I developed chronic hypertension. I am a paramedic and in great shape which tells my cardiologist that this is hereditary and not due to obesity or life style issues. My due date would be July 23rd but due to the high risk label I now carry, my dr has confirmed that I will have a scheduled cesarean at 36 weeks which brings my due date to June 23ish. Is anyone else going through this or has been through a high risk pregnancy? I am curious to know the details of how often, what will be done, how many scans I will have. Etc. Let me know! Thanks girls

Im considered high risk because im having twins. Im very worried. Everybody is downing me because im still working but my doc has said nothing. I had to switch docs due to insurnce crap so Im really in the doc until I see my new hopefully permament doc tomorrow.

I'm high risk. I have Juvenile Diabetes, got diagnosed when I was 3.

LoveMyBoys

@Neek - you would know if you're high risk or not maybe due to older age or some medical reason. If you're not seeing a high risk OB, then you're not.

I'm a high risk because I had 4 miscarriages....I had to go to the doc every 2weeks n put on bed rest...the doc told me that I couldn't lift any thing over ten ponds n not to stand for more then 10 mins. Strict bed rest sucks

baby_gurls

I am high risk because I have factor five Leiden which means I get blood clots and also because I am having twins plus have to have a c section

baby_gurls

I get 3 ultra sounds a week plus two non stress test a week so I always at the Dr office

This is my 5th, I've always been high risk. I wouldn't worry about only being seen once a month at 16 weeks, usually by 20 or more weeks they start seeing high risk patients more often. At 22 weeks I got seen every 2 weeks, with sonograms every 2-3 weeks. By 30 weeks i was seen once a week. hope this helps!

Im high risk due to having lupus and now something is abnormal with placenta.

Please_be_a_boy

Hello. I am 21 years old and high risk due to multiple loss of pregnancies and my seizure disorder. Loss of pregnancies occurred at 21 weeks, 15 weeks, 12 weeks, two at 6 weeks, and a few before 5 weeks. All from different reasons. I have had a heap of blood work done and 5 ultrasounds so far. I am now in my 23rd week and everything looks good except the size of my munchkin. He's almost 3 weeks behind. But I am feeling better and more blessed than ever

I am high risk because I have lupus and a history of high blood pressure. My drs said if I make it to 22 weeks it'll be a relief because she can survive. The drs also said if I mike it to 32 weeks it'll be a miracle!! Well im at 23 weeks and have been on bed rest since 21 weeks because my lupus flared and my blood pressure went up. So im doing what I can to take care of my baby girl!! Oh as far as tests, I see my dr every two weeks since 20weeks, sono every appointment and 24 hours urine with labs every time! Im doing great as of now but im making sure Im taking care of my self and my little girl!!
