High Risk Pregnancy
Because every mother and baby deserve the safest journey.
Whether you’ve been told your pregnancy is “high-risk” or you simply want expert oversight, our specialist team provides individualized monitoring, advanced diagnostics, and evidence-based care—every step of the way.
What is a High-Risk Pregnancy?
A pregnancy is considered high-risk when medical, obstetric, or social factors could affect the health of the mother, baby, or both. With the right plan, most high-risk pregnancies result in healthy outcomes. We follow international best practices (e.g., RCOG, EBCOG, WHO) and tailor them to your unique needs.
You’re in the right place if you:
- Have pre-existing conditions (diabetes, thyroid disease, hypertension, autoimmune disorders)
- Are carrying twins or more
- Had complications in a previous pregnancy or birth
- Conceived with fertility treatment / IVF
- Are over 35 or under 18
- Have abnormal scans, blood tests, or symptoms
Our Approach
- Early Risk Mapping: Detailed history, targeted labs, and first-trimester ultrasound (dating, viability, chorionicity for twins).
- Personalized Plan: Clear schedule for scans, visits, and labs; home monitoring where helpful.
- Multidisciplinary Care: Obstetrics, fetal medicine, endocrinology, anesthesia, neonatology—coordinated for you.
- Timely Decisions: Evidence-based timing and mode of birth, with your preferences respected.
- Postnatal Follow-through: Maternal recovery, breastfeeding help, newborn checks, and long-term health planning.
High-Risk Conditions We Manage
1
What it is: High blood sugar first recognized in pregnancy.
Why it matters: Increases risk of pre-eclampsia, large baby, birth complications, and newborn hypoglycaemia.
How we help: Early screening (or at 24–28 weeks), dietitian-led meal planning, glucose monitoring, insulin if needed, growth scans, and a birth plan that minimizes risks for mother and baby.
2
What it is: High blood pressure with organ involvement (e.g., kidneys, liver) ± protein in urine.
Why it matters: Risk of seizures (eclampsia), HELLP syndrome, placental issues, and fetal growth problems.
How we help: Home/clinic BP checks, safe medications, magnesium sulphate when indicated, blood tests, Doppler and growth scans, and a clear delivery-timing plan.
3
What it is: Labour before 37 weeks.
Why it matters: Prematurity can affect lungs, brain, eyes, and long-term development.
How we help: Cervical length surveillance, progesterone or cerclage when indicated, antenatal steroids, short-term tocolysis, magnesium for neuroprotection, and transfer to a neonatal centre if required.
4
What it is: Two or more babies, with risks influenced by whether they share a placenta (chorionicity).
Why it matters: Higher chance of preterm birth, growth differences, anaemia, pre-eclampsia; TTTS in some monochorionic twins.
How we help: Early chorionicity scan, 2–4-weekly growth/Doppler monitoring, iron optimization, preterm prevention, and individualized timing/mode of delivery.
5
A complete cholesterol test — also called a lipid panel or lipid profile — is a blood test that can measure the amount.
6
What it is: Placenta covering/near the cervix (previa) or attached too deeply (accreta/increta/percreta).
Why it matters: Significant bleeding risk in pregnancy and at delivery.
How we help: Serial ultrasound/MRI when needed, iron and bleed-readiness planning, delivery in a prepared theatre with blood bank support, and a senior multidisciplinary team on standby.
7
What it is: Baby measuring smaller than expected—often due to placental insufficiency.
Why it matters: Higher risk of stillbirth, distress in labour, and newborn complications.
How we help: Specialist Doppler studies (umbilical/MCA/ductus venosus), growth scans, maternal condition optimization, and precise timing of delivery for the safest outcome.
