High risk

I just found out that im pregnant with #2. When I was pregnant with my son (who is now 16months) I had many complications 1 was severe morning sickness to the point that I lost 20 lbs and had to get a picc line put in for IV's 3x a week. During labor I ripped and hemorrhaged (had to have 2 blood transfusions) and I broke my back. He came 3 weeks early (37+2) and weighed 8lbs 6oz and was 21inches long. He was due 11/1/15 but came 10/13/15 Anyway my question is will I be considered high risk because of the complications I had with the first? I just dont know what to expect with pregnancy.

The chances are you will be classed as high risk because of previous complications. Try not to be too concerned. Look at it positively in the way that you will receive the necessary care to ensure you and your baby are safe

Having twins is a high risk pregnancy. Im having twins as well and i am a twin. I know you cant do everything a person carrying one child can do

I would say yes. I had an emergency C-section last time due to complications during labor (Baby had the cord wrapped around his neck. His heart rate dropped significantly and needed to be resuscitated) and am classified as high risk this time.
