Two of my three pregnancies were considered to be high risk. I developed gestational diabetes with my first child, and prior to that, was SO sick from morning (really, all DAY) sickness that I lost weight. With my third, I had preterm labor at 30 weeks and spent a long weekend at the hospital to stop it, and then went home to be on bedrest.
More and more pregnancies are considered high risk these days, as stated in this recent article in a San Diego paper. One reason? More cancer survivors. Women who had cancer are beating it AND are able to get pregnant and carry the baby to term. While considered “high risk”, most of having healthy normal babies.
Definitely good news
