High-Risk Pregnancy
For some women, pre-existing health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or asthma make their pregnancies risky from the start.
But even normal pregnancies can become complicated quickly when unforeseen conditions arise, like pre-term birth, gestational diabetes, or hypertension.
That's why the MountainStar maternal-fetal medicine team delivers a wide array of diagnostic tests and services, right here at Timpanogos Regional Hospital. Learn more about why a "higher risk pregnancy" may require more specialized help.
