Treatment of high-risk pregnancy:

The treatment of a high-risk pregnancy depends on the risk factors in the pregnancy and the patient's general health.

Medical Treatment: When diabetes is detected, diet, insulin therapy and exercise are recommended, and strict blood glucose monitoring should be done. Antihypertensive drugs such as alfamet can be used in hypertension.

Bed rest: Bed rest is recommended when there is a risk of miscarriage.

- Hospitalization (follow-up in hospital): If the health of the baby or mother is at risk, the pregnant woman is hospitalized and monitored.

- Premature delivery: Premature delivery may be necessary to save the baby's or mother's life. For the obstetrician, the mother's life will be the first priority.
