Answer 1

Sickle cell disease is one example of what type of health-related pregnancy risk? A pregnant woman with SCD is at a higher risk of preterm labor, having a low birth weight baby or other complications. However, with early prenatal care and careful monitoring throughout pregnancy, a woman with SCD can have a healthy pregnancy. Sickle cell disease is a blood disorder passed down from parent to child.
