The High-Risk Question List
You heard "high-risk," and then the appointment was over. Bring these questions to the next one — organized around the three things every woman wants to know.
Questions for every part of the conversation
Why is this happening?
What the label means, what caused it — and the question most women don't say out loud: did I do this?
How worried should I be?
What it means for your baby, what monitoring to expect, and which symptoms mean call right away.
What happens next?
What it means for delivery, whether to see a specialist, and what follow-up you need after birth.
