High-risk pregnancies require special attention and care. Potential complications, such as high blood pressure (preeclampsia), and existing health conditions like diabetes, pose a risk to both mother and baby.
At Alan B. Patterson, MD, in Coral Springs, Florida, our OB-GYN team has extensive experience caring for women who are navigating high-risk pregnancies. We’re devoted to helping patients have as safe and healthy a pregnancy and birth as possible.
With decades of experience and the latest advancements in prenatal care, you can rely on our team to provide top-quality obstetrics support every step of the way.
While most pregnancies go smoothly, roughly 15% require special care to prevent serious complications. Certain factors and health conditions increase the chances of complications during pregnancy, including:
Our team works closely with high-risk patients to reduce the risk of complications and support a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery.
High-risk pregnancies require a level of care that goes beyond the routine, and every patient’s situation is different. Dr. Patterson and our team prioritize thorough evaluations and detailed monitoring to address potential risks early.
Whether you’re managing a pre-existing condition like diabetes, carrying multiples, or facing complications such as preeclampsia or preterm labor, we tailor our care to your unique needs.
When it comes to high-risk pregnancies, frequent and precise monitoring is key to keeping both mother and baby healthy. Dr. Patterson uses advanced ultrasound technology to assess your baby’s growth and development regularly.
This noninvasive diagnostic imaging tool gives us a way to detect complications, such as restricted growth or placental issues, before they have time to escalate.
Beyond medical care, our team equips you with the knowledge and resources you need to make informed decisions about your own health. From explaining test results to discussing treatment options, you’re an active participant in your prenatal care.
The stress of navigating a high-risk pregnancy can take a toll: Elevated stress levels during pregnancy can have a negative impact, which is why we provide a supportive environment where we encourage you to express any concerns — so you can approach your pregnancy with confidence.
For complex cases, our team collaborates with other high-risk pregnancy specialists. Our team has established relationships with perinatologists (maternal-fetal medicine specialists) and other experts. Doing so supports a seamless coordination of care when needed. This integrated approach allows us to address even the most challenging aspects of high-risk pregnancies while maintaining continuity of care.
