  I am considered high risk simply because I'm having twins but I also know a lot of women who are on here are high risk because of gestational diabetes, or a previous pregnancy where they went into preterm labor or had recurring miscarriages. 

  PCOS IVF#1= BFN IVF#2= BFP with twin boys due 11/26/11 Bed rest as of 25 weeks due to contractions

  Lots of things can make you high risk and to varying degrees.  I'm high risk because I'm a Type 1 diabetic, I have pre-existing high blood pressure, I've had numerous pregnancy losses and I have a few clotting disorders.

  I am only high risk because I'm a type 1 diabetic. I don't believe I should be high risk, but the doctors think I need to be classified as such. It's not been a bad thing though since they have kept a close eye on me; the only thing that has annoyed me is the constant doc appts taking me away from work because I know what's going on and know how to handle things but I appreciate the docs helping in case I do have questions. I'd say to not worry about it and do your best with all of it. It's well worth it.

  I'm considered high risk because my first child was born (late) preterm at 36 weeks exactly + I was hospitalized for preterm labor at 30 weeks with my second child, then put on bed rest and contraction-stopping meds for 6 weeks. Also, during that time my daughter was diagnosed IUGR. I was induced at 37 weeks exactly with her. So basically, this time they're keeping a SUPER close eye on me.

  I am considered High Risk because I had a some at 24 wks who lived a day, had contractions and everything, but he is an angel in heaven now, after him were the twins twin a was lost at 17 weeks no contactions...i actually pushed my amniotic sac out saw a little balloon and wondered what it was...it's funny to think of it now, but it was very scary at the time. Twin B I lost at 22 weeks.

  They say that my cervix is incompetent, and that's what causes me to lose early.  I think many factors depending on the person can cause you to be high risk.

   Hope all is getting better with you.

  I am high risk b/c DD2 was born at 33 wk 5d from spontaneous PTL (I had no problems or complication until that day) and now I am pregnant with twins.

  Right now I am just lurking here to get an idea of what may come my way

  With my last one, preterm labor followed by repeated pregnancy loss.

  Don't know yet what I'll be considered for this one.
  

  
  
  TTC since 6/02 (age 22) K/U instantly despite no AF for 5 months--preemie baby boy 1/03
  M/C 11/04 - M/C 05 - M/C 06 - BFP 2/08--fullterm baby girl 10/08 - M/C 4/11 - went to RE at age 31
  DX: crappy quality & infrequent ovulation, mild MFI
  Stimmed cycle #1 C/P 7/11 - Stimmed cycle #2 C/P 8/11 - Stimmed cycle #4 C/P 10/11
  On Stimmed Cycle #5
  Always thought I'd be a "mom of many"--now just hoping to be a "mom of one or two more!"

  I'm so sorry. 

  I am high risk because I have Rhumatoid Arthritis and Sjogrens Syndrome and a couple of specific test results showed that I have some risk of placenta aging too early or baby having heart block.
