High-risk pregnancy refers to a pregnancy that negatively affects the health of the mother, the baby,
or both. High-risk pregnancy evokes a range of emotional and psychological experiences for the expectant mother,
and can adversely affect both the mother and the baby’s health. Medical research on high-risk pregnancy abounds,
while women’s emotional/psychological experiences are not sufficiently documented, and hence much less
attention and/or programming is directed to support women with high risk pregnancies.
