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.
