5 celebrities who had a high-risk pregnancy - Page 3 of 8

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey, the pop diva, is often referred to as the “Songbird Supreme” and the “Queen of Christmas.” She had a complicated pregnancy with her twins as she was experiencing a dual challenge while pregnant with the two babies, Moroccan and Monroe. She developed gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.

The preeclampsia caused swelling, and both these conditions made her movement very difficult. She couldn’t even go to the bathroom by herself. The twins were delivered with a C-section at 35 weeks. Lately, the nine-year-old twins are healthy and typical pre-teens. Although they both have already appeared with their mother on stage, the family tries to keep them out of the public eye.
