High‑Risk Pregnancy Assessment

For pregnancies with increased risks – advanced monitoring, expert guidance, and a personalised care plan to safeguard you and your baby.

Overview

Extra care for pregnancies that need closer attention.

A high‑risk pregnancy is one where the mother, the baby, or both face an increased chance of complications. This may be due to pre‑existing medical conditions, complications that arise during pregnancy, fetal anomalies, or multiple pregnancies. A high‑risk pregnancy assessment brings together expert evaluation, advanced ultrasound, and coordinated care to optimise outcomes.

At Amytri, our high‑risk pregnancy assessment is led by a consultant radiologist with specialised training in fetal medicine, working in close collaboration with obstetricians, geneticists, neonatologists, and other specialists. We use state‑of‑the‑art ultrasound, Doppler, and fetal monitoring to thoroughly evaluate maternal and fetal health. We then develop a personalised management plan – including the frequency of monitoring, timing of delivery, and preparation for neonatal care.

Our goal is not just to identify risks, but to manage them proactively. We provide clear communication, emotional support, and a single point of coordination – so you never feel overwhelmed by the complexity of your care.

What a high‑risk pregnancy assessment covers

  • Comprehensive review of maternal medical history and current health
  • Advanced fetal ultrasound – growth, anatomy, and wellbeing
  • Doppler studies of uterine, umbilical, and fetal circulation
  • Maternal blood pressure, glucose, and other key parameters
  • Genetic and fetal anomaly assessment (if indicated)
  • Personalised monitoring schedule and delivery planning
  • Coordination with obstetricians and specialist teams
Why it matters

Proactive management leads to better outcomes.

High‑risk pregnancies require more than standard care – they need a tailored approach that anticipates challenges and prepares for every scenario.

Prevention

Identify and mitigate risks early

Many complications – like pre‑eclampsia, preterm labour, or fetal distress – can be anticipated and managed when identified through thorough assessment, reducing the need for emergency interventions.

Planning

Optimise timing and mode of delivery

With regular monitoring and a clear understanding of maternal and fetal status, we can plan the safest time and method for delivery – avoiding unnecessary early births or delays.

Reassurance

Peace of mind through close monitoring

Regular assessments and clear communication help reduce anxiety, knowing that every aspect of your pregnancy is being watched and managed by a dedicated team.

What we assess

A comprehensive evaluation of both mother and baby.

Our high‑risk assessment covers all the key domains that influence pregnancy outcomes.

Maternal Medical History and Current Health

We review chronic conditions (diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, autoimmune diseases), previous pregnancy outcomes, medications, and current symptoms to assess overall risk.

Advanced Fetal Ultrasound

We perform detailed fetal biometry, anatomy (if not already done), and assess growth, amniotic fluid, and placental appearance – looking for any signs of compromise.

Doppler Studies

We measure blood flow in the umbilical artery, uterine arteries, middle cerebral artery, and ductus venosus to assess placental function and fetal adaptation to stress.

Maternal Blood Pressure and Urine Analysis

We monitor for signs of pre‑eclampsia or gestational hypertension – key risk factors that require close surveillance.

Genetic and Fetal Anomaly Review

If a fetal anomaly or genetic condition is present or suspected, we incorporate the findings into the overall risk assessment and management plan.

Medication and Lifestyle Review

We review current medications, supplements, and lifestyle factors (diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol) to ensure they are optimised for a healthy pregnancy.

How it works

Your high‑risk pregnancy assessment journey, step by step.

01
Referral

Referral and case collection

Your obstetrician refers you for a high‑risk assessment. We gather your full medical records, previous scan images, and lab results.

02
Assessment

Comprehensive evaluation

We perform a detailed ultrasound, Doppler studies, and review your medical history. We may also recommend additional tests (e.g., fetal echocardiography, genetic counseling).

03
Plan

Personalised management plan

We develop a tailored care plan – including monitoring frequency, medication adjustments, lifestyle advice, and delivery planning.

04
Coordinate

Ongoing coordination and follow‑up

We stay in close contact with your obstetrician and specialist team, ensuring seamless care throughout the rest of your pregnancy and beyond.

Is it for you?

A high‑risk pregnancy assessment is recommended if any of these apply.

If you have any risk factors that could affect your pregnancy, a specialised assessment can make a real difference to your outcomes.

Maternal age 35 or older

Advanced maternal age is associated with higher risks of hypertension, diabetes, and fetal chromosomal anomalies – close monitoring is recommended.

Pre‑existing medical conditions

Diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, kidney disease, autoimmune conditions, and heart disease all require specialised management during pregnancy.

Previous pregnancy complications

If you've had pre‑eclampsia, preterm birth, growth restriction, stillbirth, or a baby with a congenital anomaly, future pregnancies benefit from extra surveillance.

Multiple pregnancy (twins, triplets)

Multiple pregnancies are inherently higher risk – regular assessment of each baby's growth and wellbeing is essential.

Fetal anomaly or growth concern

If a fetal condition has been identified, or if growth is not tracking as expected, a specialised assessment guides further management.

Uncertainty or anxiety about your pregnancy

Even without a specific diagnosis, if you feel worried or have a strong family history, a high‑risk assessment can provide clarity and a plan.
