In medical terminology, High-risk pregnancy is the condition where mother or foetus are at high risk during or after pregnancy.

Existing Health Conditions: High blood pressure, diabetes, HIV effected, Polycystic ovary syndrome, kidney disease, uncontrolled thyroid, obesity are some of the conditions which can make pregnancy more difficulty.
Age: It is one of the most common risk factors, for both teen age pregnancies and first-time pregnancies after 35 years old. Teenage is not considered healthy to have a baby because of high blood pressure and anemia; whereas older first-timers are more likely to have excessive bleeding during labour.

A 40 year-old women is more biologically healthy than a 20 year-old.
Lifestyle factors: Lifestyle habits are the most effected factors for high-risk pregnancy. Smoking, excess alcohol, drugs intake exposes the unborn child to many fatal health risks.
