“High risk pregnancy?”
I am 42 years old and 3-4 weeks pregnant according to a home pregnancy test. I had 4 previous healthy c-section deliveries. I want to find out how high risk is this pregnancy?

Although still very possible to have a fifth healthy pregnancy/delivery, your pregnancy is considered high risk because, among other risk factors: advanced maternal age (35+ years of age) as well as 4 previous cesarean deliveries. I recommend starting prenatal care with your OB/GYN as soon as possible to discuss risk factors in greater detail as well as plan for a healthy pregnancy/delivery.
