Pregnancy is a beautiful and life-changing experience. But for some mothers, it requires closer medical attention to ensure a safe journey for both mom and baby. At Blossoms Mother & Child Hospital, we’re committed to guiding families through every step of this path—especially when the pregnancy is classified as high-risk.
