Examples of errors relating to high risk pregnancies include:
- The failure of medical personnel to communicate special pregnancy or delivery issues to the doctor and hospital staff involved in the delivery.

- Failing to perform specialized testing for the mother and baby during pregnancy.
- Failing to monitor fetal heart rates to detect irregular fetal heartbeat.
