FAQs

A Plethora of solutions to all your questions and dilemmas, melt away any confusion or doubts you may have

If a woman has diabetes, high blood pressure, rheumatologic conditions, cardiac or pulmonary issues, or is under the age of 17 or above the age of 35, she may be more susceptible to complications during pregnancy. If a woman is expecting more than one child, has a history of pregnancy-related issues including numerous miscarriages or preterm deliveries, or has already given birth to a kid who experienced complications, she may also be at high risk. A high-risk pregnancy does not imply that something bad will happen to your unborn child. It simply indicates that you have a higher risk of pregnancy difficulties due to a health issue or other circumstance. Numerous high-risk pregnancies conclude with happy, healthy parents and infants and no issues.
