In Malaysia, high-risk pregnancies are becoming an increasingly common aspect of modern maternal healthcare, as more women embark on motherhood later in life, often with underlying conditions such as obesity, diabetes or previous pregnancy complications that heighten medical risks during pregnancy and childbirth. In more serious cases, complications such as foetal growth restriction, premature birth, severe hypertension, postpartum haemorrhage and neonatal complications can place both mother and baby at significant risk if not detected early.
