Caring for High Risk Pregnancies

Are you caring for a mother whose pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy or are you caring for a premature or sick baby?  Here’s how you can help….

The proportion of childbearing women defined as being at high risk is constantly increasing. Today, conditions that previously did not allow women to go through pregnancy and childbirth with a healthy outcome are manageable, owing to medical developments including diagnostic and therapeutic procedures directed to both the woman and her baby.

Pregnant women labelled as high risk are exposed and vulnerable. Emotionally, they are more anxious, worried, and ambivalent about their pregnancies. The need for support from others, especially from health-care professionals and support networks is increased.

Genuine care is embodied knowledge, the kind of knowledge the healthcare team uses as the most important tool in caring for at-risk women.

Miracle Babies Foundation Nurture E - The EEE Impact has been created in collaboration with parents and health professionals to provide families with knowledge about their high-risk pregnancy with Evidence, Education and Empowerment.

We are here to help!  Our NurtureProgram provides vital peer emotional support.
