High-Risk Pregnancy

Are you at risk of pre-term delivery?

It’s difficult to predict which expectant mothers will deliver early. However, if you’ve already had a pre-term delivery, you are at a greater risk for pre-term delivery the next time you are pregnant. Even if you’ve never had a pre-term delivery, watch for the following warning signs after the 20th week of pregnancy and contact your doctor with any questions:

Regular uterine contractions
Menstrual-like cramps (constant or occasional)
Low, dull backache
Pelvic pressure that feels like the baby is pushing down
Abdominal cramping, with or without diarrhea
Increase or change in vaginal discharge
A feeling like something is not right
