“ Due to the recent increase in the age of marriage and childbirth,
the increasing number of older pregnancies (being over 35) are more likely to cause genetic problems
(chromosomal abnormalities),leading to high-risk pregnancies.
As the assisted reproductive technology (ART) is boosted due to an increase in infertile couples,
the high-risk factor of multiple pregnancies also accounts for a large part of the increase
in high-risk pregnancies.
A high-risk pregnancy can be life-threatening for the pregnant person or fetus.
A pregnant woman belonging to the high-risk pregnancy group requires appropriate prenatal tests
and continuous management from the early pregnancy until before childbirth. ” -
