Your pregnancy may be considered “high risk” if there is a higher than average chance of you developing complications.

You can be labeled “high risk” and have a perfectly healthy pregnancy. For example, you may be under a lot of stress because you don’t have the resources you need to have a healthy pregnancy such as family support, money, food, shelter, transportation or other necessary things.

If your pregnancy is labeled “high risk”, the Right From The Start Program can provide you with a registered nurse or licensed social worker to help you to reduce factors that could cause you to have a poor pregnancy outcome. The RFTS worker may alert you to symptoms that you are unaware could cause you to go into preterm labor.   For more information, please contact us.
