High risk pregnancy: There are factors that make a pregnancy high risk such as advanced maternal age, high blood pressure; lung, kidney, or heart problems; diabetes; autoimmune disease and some situations that may arise in pregnancy like preterm labor, placenta previa, and multiple gestation. There may be some fetal related issues which can make a pregnancy high risk and you have to discus with your doctor too.
