Have you had this experience ?
I had my anatomy scan last week and baby looks great! 🥹 Everything looked normal, which was such a relief. When I reviewed the official report afterward, I noticed a diagnosis code that said “Supervision of high risk pregnancy,” and of course that made me a little nervous.
I messaged my doctor about it, and she explained that technically I’m labeled “high risk” because of my starting pregnancy weight (206 lbs), but she reassured me it’s not something they’re actually concerned about in my case. She emphasized that everything looked great on the ultrasound, baby is healthy, and I’m doing amazing so far.
That definitely made me feel a lot better, but I’m curious—has anyone else been told they’re technically high risk just based on weight around 200 lbs? 🥴

I was also rated as a high risk pregnancy because of my weight and I only had one episode with high blood pressure but my pregnancy went well but after Labor I did have preeclampsia so it is a good Factor just in case.
But to also try to have healthiest pregnancy that you can.
It’s just a legal insurance thing they have to do to basically cover their butts if by some reason something happened to you or baby they can say they did their due diligence.
Yes everyone is labeled high risk after certain weight and certain age.
