All pregnancies involve some risks. You may have problems because of a health problem you had before you became pregnant. You also may develop a condition during pregnancy. Other causes may include multiple pregnancies, a health problem during a previous pregnancy, drug use during pregnancy, or being older than 35. Any of these can affect your health, your baby's health, or both.

If you have a chronic illness, you should talk to your doctor to find out how you can minimize your risk before you become pregnant. Once pregnancy occurs, you may need to be monitored by a team of health professionals. Some common diseases that can complicate pregnancy are

high blood pressure
Polycystic ovary syndrome
Kidney problems
Autoimmune diseases
Thyroid diseases
Obesity
HIV/AIDS
Cancer
Infections
Other conditions that may increase the risk of pregnancy may occur during the development of the pregnancy - for example, gestational diabetes and Rh incompatibility. Good prenatal care can help detect and treat them.

Some discomforts, such as nausea, back pain, and fatigue, are common during pregnancy. Sometimes it is hard to know what is normal. Call your health care provider if something bothers you or worries you.
