High-Risk Obstetrics

Some women need special care during pregnancy either due to a pre-existing medical condition like high blood pressure, diabetes or thyroid disorders; a condition developed during pregnancy like gestational diabetes; genetic predispositions; or simply by carrying multiple babies. The physicians and clinical staff at Highlands are highly experienced in managing and treating symptoms of high-risk pregnancies so you can rest assured knowing that you are in the best of hands. If you have a chronic medical condition and are thinking of becoming pregnant, call our office at (864) 234-0700 to schedule an appointment to discuss special prenatal care needs.

Non-Stress Tests

If you are considered a high-risk pregnancy, you have too much or too little amniotic fluid around your baby, or if your baby is not moving as much as expected and are in your third trimester, your physician may recommend a non-stress test. During this test, which is performed in the office, two belts are placed around your stomach that record both your contractions and your baby’s heart rate and movement. This test monitors your baby’s heartbeat to make sure your baby is getting plenty of oxygen during the last stage of pregnancy.
