High-Risk Pregnancy

Care and Management of High-Risk Pregnancy

Mannat Fertility Centre follows a comprehensive approach to high-risk pregnancy. But that team is experienced and will tailor your care plan to your circumstances. Here’s what you can expect:

• Pre-conception Counseling: It is important to have preconception counselling if you know you have a high-risk factor before becoming pregnant. Before you conceive, we help you prepare for a healthy pregnancy by optimizing your health.
• Checkups and Tests: Your health is carefully monitored during your pregnancy with checkups, ultrasounds, blood work, and screenings for gestational diabetes, hypertension, and other complications.
• Diet and lifestyle advice: A high-risk pregnancy requires a healthy lifestyle. Our experts will ensure that your well-being and that of your baby are catered for through great nutrition, exercise, and stress management.
• Treatment and Medications: Women with pre-existing medical conditions may be prescribed medications to control conditions like hypertension, diabetes or thyroid imbalances to ensure that the pregnancy runs smoothly.
• Advanced Neonatal Care Facilities and Specialists: If you are experiencing preterm labour or any other complications, we have fully stocked neonatal care facilities and specialists ready to help you deliver the best possible care for your baby.
• Emotional Support: A high-risk pregnancy is emotionally challenging. The compassionate team here will offer support, reassurance, and counselling to assist you during this period of your pregnancy, both mentally and emotionally.

Risks and Complications

High-risk pregnancies can lead to several complications that require specialized care, including:

1. High blood pressure (Pre-eclampsia): A condition that causes high blood pressure and may harm the liver and kidneys and lead to preterm birth.
2. Gestational Diabetes: A diabetes that occurs during pregnancy; it can affect the mother and the baby.
3. Preterm birth: Babies born before 37 weeks may have development difficulties, and preterm labour needs immediate care.
4. Placental Problems: Causes include placenta previa and placental abruption, which may affect a baby’s bleeding and growth.
5. Fetal Growth Restrictions: The risk of fetal growth restrictions is present, though the baby may not grow properly, and we need to monitor early interventions more often.

Recovery and Postpartum Care

You also need to monitor your health if you have a high-risk pregnancy. Mannat Fertility Centre provides postnatal care to aid in childbirth recovery and to address any complications that may arise after delivery.
