Specialized Services for High-Risk Obstetrics

1. Cardiotocography (CTG) Monitoring

Cardiotocography is a non-invasive monitoring technique used to assess the well-being of the fetus during pregnancy. It measures the fetal heart rate and uterine contractions to detect any signs of distress. At our centre, we utilize state-of-the-art CTG machines for continuous monitoring, allowing us to intervene promptly if any abnormalities are detected.

2. 3D Ultrasound Imaging

Our advanced 3D ultrasound technology provides detailed, three-dimensional images of the fetus in the womb. This allows us to visualize the baby’s anatomy, growth, and development with exceptional clarity. 3D ultrasound is particularly beneficial for diagnosing fetal abnormalities and monitoring fetal well-being in high-risk pregnancies.

3. Fetal Medicine and Fetal Monitoring

Our fetal medicine specialists are experts in diagnosing and managing complex fetal conditions. They work closely with our obstetric team to provide comprehensive care for high-risk pregnancies. Fetal monitoring involves regular assessments of the baby’s growth, development, and health status throughout pregnancy. This includes:

• Fetal Growth Scans: To track the baby’s growth and ensure proper development.
• Amniotic Fluid Assessment: To evaluate the volume of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby.
• Doppler Ultrasound: To assess blood flow in the umbilical cord and other vital vessels.
• Biophysical Profile (BPP): A comprehensive test combining ultrasound and CTG to assess fetal well-being.

4. High-Risk Intensive Care Unit (HRICU)

For women with severe complications or medical conditions during pregnancy, our High-Risk Intensive Care Unit provides specialized care and monitoring. Our HRICU is equipped with advanced medical equipment and staffed by skilled healthcare professionals trained in managing complex obstetric cases.

5. Neonatal Care

In the event of a premature birth or other complications requiring neonatal care, our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is fully equipped to provide the highest level of specialized care for newborns. Our neonatologists and pediatric specialists work closely with the obstetric team to ensure seamless continuity of care from pregnancy to delivery and beyond.

1. What is considered a High-Risk Pregnancy?

A high-risk pregnancy is one that involves factors that increase the chances of complications for the mother, fetus, or both. These factors can include maternal age (under 17 or over 35), pre-existing medical conditions (such as diabetes or hypertension), multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets), history of pregnancy complications, and more.

2. How Often Should I See My Doctor During a High-Risk Pregnancy?

The frequency of prenatal visits may vary depending on your specific circumstances. In general, women with high-risk pregnancies may require more frequent check-ups, typically every 2-4 weeks. Your doctor will create a personalized schedule based on your needs.

3. What Tests are done to monitor a High-Risk Pregnancy?

Several tests may be performed to monitor the health and development of both mother and baby. These can include regular ultrasounds to assess fetal growth and well-being, blood tests to monitor glucose levels, fetal monitoring through cardiotocography (CTG), and specialized tests such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) if indicated.

4. Can I Deliver Naturally with a High-Risk Pregnancy?

Whether a woman with a high-risk pregnancy can deliver vaginally depends on several factors, including the specific risks involved, the baby’s position, and the mother’s health. In some cases, a cesarean section (C-section) may be recommended to reduce certain risks.

5. How Does Having Gestational Diabetes Affect My Pregnancy?

Gestational diabetes can increase the risk of complications for both mother and baby, including macrosomia (large birth weight), preterm birth, and preeclampsia. Proper management with diet, exercise, and possibly insulin therapy can help control blood sugar levels and minimize risks.

6. What Can I Do to Reduce the Risks of a High-Risk Pregnancy?

Some steps to reduce risks include attending all prenatal appointments, following your doctor’s advice on medications and lifestyle changes, maintaining a healthy diet and weight, managing chronic conditions, avoiding smoking and alcohol, and managing stress through relaxation techniques.

7. What Complications Should I Be Aware of in a High-Risk Pregnancy?

Complications that may arise in high-risk pregnancies include preeclampsia (high blood pressure), gestational diabetes, preterm labor, placental problems, fetal growth restrictions, and the need for cesarean delivery.

8. Can I Have a Healthy Baby with a High-Risk Pregnancy?

With proper management and close monitoring, many women with high-risk pregnancies go on to have healthy babies. The key is early detection of any potential issues, adherence to treatment plans, and working closely with your healthcare team.

9. What Should I Do if I Notice Decreased Fetal Movement?

Decreased fetal movement could indicate a potential problem and should be reported to your doctor immediately. Your doctor may recommend monitoring at home, coming in for a check-up, or additional tests to ensure the baby’s well-being.

10. Will My Baby Need Special Care After Birth if I Have a High-Risk Pregnancy?

Depending on the circumstances, your baby may need specialized care after birth, especially if born prematurely or with certain medical conditions. Hospitals with neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are equipped to provide the necessary care for newborns with special needs. These are general answers to common questions about high-risk obstetrics. It’s essential to discuss your specific situation and concerns with your healthcare provider, who can provide personalized guidance and support throughout your pregnancy journey.
