Approximately 1 in 10
women will have a high-risk pregnancy, but for various reasons. Conditions
that can cause high risk include issues with both mother and baby. The
percentage of women who have high-risk pregnancies is about 6 to 8 percent. Complications can fall into the category that is
harmful to the baby and/or harmful to the mother. Many women develop
gestational diabetes, which only affects the mother. Preeclampsia, which
elevates the blood pressure of the mother during pregnancy, can be harmful to
both mother and baby. Ectopic pregnancies can put both the mother and baby at
risk when the embryo attaches to the fallopian tube, instead of moving to the
uterus.
Miscarriages or premature births can also happen to pregnant women with certain risk factors. When going through labor, progress can slow, causing distress for the baby and mother. In some cases, a C-section is needed to keep from causing harm to both the baby and mother. The number of births by cesarean section is on the rise, climbing from about 16 million (12.1% of all births) in 2000 to 29.7 million. Performing a C-section seems to be ideal for the health of both women and newborns that have high risk pregnancies. Unlike in many countries where surgery is a challenge, women in the US can elect to have a C-section.
It gives them a lot more control over childbirth than waiting to go into labor naturally. The World Health Organization suggests that cesarean sections being performed lies between 10 and 15 percent, while a more recent study found it is a little higher, around 19 percent. Around the globe 21 percent of babies, or nearly 30 million, are delivered by Caesarean section, according to research from 169 countries published in the Lancet. In North America, the rate of C-section births increased from 24 percent to 32 percent in the 15-year span, according to the new research. In the United States, the lowest rate was in New Mexico (18 percent) and the highest in New Jersey (33 percent).
