High-Risk Pregnancy Care

At Women’s Health & Wellness in Covington, LA, Dr. Vicki Steen provides compassionate, expert care for high-risk pregnancies. With over 15 years of experience serving women on the Northshore, Dr. Steen is a board-certified OB/GYN who combines clinical excellence with personalized attention. As a mother of three herself, she understands the unique concerns and joys that come with pregnancy—especially when additional medical attention is needed.

A pregnancy is considered high-risk when factors could affect the health of the mother, baby, or both. These may include hypertension, gestational or pre-existing diabetes, multiple gestations (twins or more), blood disorders, obesity, or a history of preterm labor or complications in previous pregnancies. Dr. Steen and her team offer comprehensive, in-office management of these conditions so you receive continuous, coordinated care close to home.
