Most pregnancies and deliveries are healthy and without complication, but some women experience high risk conditions or develop complications during pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum. The term "high risk" is also often given to women who are expecting multiples, or who have medical conditions such as diabetes, chronic hypertension or asthma.
