Overview of Neonatology: High-Risk Newborn

Every family looks forward to the birth of a healthy newborn. It is an exciting time with so much to look forward to. In some cases, though, unexpected difficulties and challenges occur along the way. Some newborns have greater chances of complications because of conditions that occur during fetal development, pregnancy conditions of the mother or problems that may occur during labor and birth. These babies are called high-risk newborns. Some complications are unexpected and may occur without warning. Other times, there are risk factors that make problems more likely.
