High Risk Pregnancy
What is High risk pregnancy?
A high-risk pregnancy is a pregnancy that involves increased health risks for the mother, unborn baby or both. Health problems that occur before a woman becomes pregnant or during pregnancy may also increase the likelihood for a high-risk pregnancy. These pregnancies need close monitoring and extra care to reduce the chances of complications. In most cases with good care patients have a favorable outcome.
Some of such conditions are
- Elderly Primigravida (first pregnancy after the age of 35 yrs.)
- Teen age pregnancy
- Diabetes in pregnancy
- Hypertension in pregnancy
- Anaemia in pregnancy
- Negative blood group mothers
- Infections in pregnancy
- Multiple pregnancy (twins or triplets)
- Tumours or Cyst in pregnancy
- Bleeding in pregnancy
- Medical disorders in pregnancy
Dr Shivanjali has managed many such complicated cases successfully with positive outcomes.
