Why does everyone except my OB think I am a 'high risk' patient??

This just amazes me! First my history, got pregnant with my 1st child and had a vaginal delivery in May 1999. In Aug 1999 I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease and treated with chemo until Feb 2000. April 2000 I was given a clean bill of health (had a PET scan which detects any cancer remaining). I got pregnant in Aug 2000 and had an early miscarriage and then got pregnant when I ovulated next and I am now 15 weeks. There is a hematoma/bleed that they found at my 7 and 8 week ultrasound and I have not had another ultrasound yet. I get all sorts of questions from nurses, my oncologist, friends and family wondering if they are considering this pregnany as a high risk. Why would I be consider high risk or are these people just thinking since I had cancer and have that blood clot it should be high risk. Thanks for answering. I see my OB this week and I will bring it up with him.
