Question

Which of the following is not a high-risk pregnancy ?

• A. Previous history of manual removal of placenta
• B. Anemia
• C. Diabetes
• D. Obesity

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In the context of pregnancy, a "high-risk" condition refers to factors that can negatively affect the health of the mother, the unborn baby, or both. Let's evaluate each option to determine which is not typically classified as a high-risk pregnancy factor: 

Condition	Explanation
Previous history of manual removal of placenta	This refers to a past event where the placenta needed manual removal post-delivery. While it indicates a complication in a previous pregnancy, it doesn't inherently affect the current pregnancy's risk level.
Anemia	This is a condition where the blood lacks adequate healthy red blood cells. During pregnancy, anemia can lead to insufficient oxygen for the mother and baby, increasing pregnancy risks.
Diabetes	Gestational diabetes or pre-existing diabetes can lead to complications such as macrosomia, preterm birth, and preeclampsia, thus categorizing a pregnancy as high risk.
Obesity	Obesity increases the risk of gestational diabetes, hypertension, and other conditions that can complicate pregnancy, classifying it as high risk.

The correct answer is: Previous history of manual removal of placenta. Although it represents a past complication, it does not generally make the current pregnancy high-risk unless new complications arise.
