Profile of morbidities of high-risk pregnant women in the area covered by a family health strategy

Abstract

Pregnancy is considered high risk when certain clinical, obstetric and social conditions arise that can threaten maternal-fetal health (RODRIGUES et al., 2017). In Brazil, according to the Ministry of Health's High Risk Pregnancy Manual (2022), pregnant women who have some gestational risk should be followed, together, in primary care and in an intermediate-risk prenatal unit with the presence of an obstetrician and multidisciplinary team, aiming to provide the woman with a positive experience of pregnancy,  thus preventing possible harm to their health and that of the newborn (BRASIL, 2022).
