Pregnancy Conditions

Pregnancy conditions are health concerns that may be present before you become pregnant or develop while you are expecting. Some are mild and easy to manage, while others need closer monitoring to protect you and your baby’s health. 

Early prenatal testing - especially during your first trimester - can help detect these conditions sooner, so you and your care team can take steps to manage them. At Banner Health, our maternity specialists provide expert, compassionate care for all types of pregnancy conditions, from common complications to high-risk pregnancies. 

Common pregnancy conditions we treat 

We diagnose and treat a wide range of pregnancy-related conditions. Learn more about each condition, its symptoms, and how our team can help. 

Early pregnancy loss (miscarriage) 

Early pregnancy loss, or miscarriage, is when a pregnancy ends on its own before 20 weeks. This can happen for many reasons, often beyond your control. Our providers offer compassionate care and support to help you understand your options and begin physical and emotional healing. 

Ectopic pregnancy 

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, most often in a fallopian tube. This is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical care. Our team can diagnose ectopic pregnancy early and guide you through treatment to protect your health. 

High-risk pregnancy conditions 

Some pregnancies carry higher risks for the mother, the baby or both. These may include: 

  • Autoimmune disorders 
  • Gestational or preexisting diabetes 
  • Teen pregnancy 
  • Pregnancy in people over age 35 (advanced maternal age) 

Our maternal-fetal medicine specialists provide individualized care plans, advanced monitoring and delivery planning for high-risk pregnancies.

Placenta accreta

Placenta accreta happens when the placenta attaches too deeply into the uterine wall. This can lead to serious complications during delivery. We use advanced imaging to detect placenta accreta early and create a safe birth plan tailored to your needs.

Placenta previa

Placenta previa occurs when the placenta partially or fully covers the cervix. It can cause bleeding during pregnancy and may affect your delivery method. Our providers monitor this condition closely and work with you to ensure the safest outcome for you and your baby.

Preeclampsia

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication involving high blood pressure, usually after 20 weeks. It can cause serious health risks if not treated promptly. Our team monitors blood pressure, provides medication when needed and develops a delivery plan to protect your health and your baby’s health.
