Any August moms considered high risk? Do high risk pregnancies normally go full term or early? Age and GD making it a high risk. Non stress tests twice a week starting today.

    I am considered high risk for many reasons- 
    1. I have GD, although they don't consider high risk if you aren't on insulin and I am not
    2. I had Pre-E last pregnancy 
    3. My blood pressure is creeping up- last reading was 128/84 which is higher than normal for me. 

    It is Number 2 and 3 that they are sending me for weekly ultrasounds, weekly 24 hour protein checks and twice a week NSTs. 

    They will only deliver me early if something isn't right and thus far I have "passed" everything.

    I'm a high risk because I had a stroke in March. I'm on Lovenox, and will soon change to Heprin. They are going to induce me at 39 weeks, and there's a really good chance that they will have to do a cesarean delivery (they don't want me to strain). My baby is perfectly fine, and she probably would go the full 40 weeks (or 1-2 weeks over that).

    I'm high risk due to crohns disease. I have to watch for flares and monitor my meds closely as well as get growth scans to check cervix, fluid levels and baby's growth. I can also go into preterm labor and low birth weight are associated with having the disease especially if i flare.

    That being said even with the disease being known to have these issues many go full term and have no issues/healthy babys so it could go either way.

    Oh...I'll graduate from maternal fetal medicine 4 weeks from now (won't require further monitoring since I would have made it what's considered full term or 36weeks)

    I'm high risk due to placenta previa and past uterine surgeries. My placenta migrated in the last few weeks and is now just low lying. I go on the 21st to have it checked again. If it is further away from my cervix, everything will be good. If not, I will have a scheduled c-section sometime around 38 weeks.
