High Risk Pregnancy Clinic in Bangalore

A pregnancy is considered high-risk when there are potential problems that could affect the mother, the baby, or both. About 20-30% of pregnancies in India are high-risk. Early diagnosis and the right treatment of women with high-risk pregnancies can result in a reduction of problems faced by the mother and baby and improve outcomes.

Our unit has a 24-hour multi-disciplinary team of experienced obstetricians, nurses, anesthesiologists, neonatologists, and other specialists who can provide the best care to optimise the care and outcomes.

High-risk pregnancy clinics are run twice a week on Mondays and Fridays.

Reasons that a pregnancy may be considered high risk include:

1. Maternal age

Women under the age 17 or over age 35 are at greater risk of complications. The risk of miscarriage & genetic defects further increase after 40 years.

2. Medical conditions that exist before pregnancy such as:

High blood pressure
Lung, kidney or heart problems
Blood disorders
Diabetes, autoimmune diseases, obesity
Sexually transmitted diseases/chronic infections like HIV
History of miscarriage/pregnancy loss problems with a previous pregnancy or pregnancies; family history of genetic disorders

3. Problems which develop during pregnancy that affect mother & baby are

Gestational Diabetes
Pre-eclampsia or high blood pressure
Fetal problems

4. Pregnancy-related issues that arise from the pregnancy itself:

Premature labour that begins less than 37 weeks of pregnancy
Multiple births carrying more than one baby – twins, triplets, quadruplets
Placenta previa – a condition in which the placenta covers the opening of uterus (cervix)
Growth restrictions or abnormalities frequently seen on ultrasound scans

For many women, there’s an innate, intense desire to experience pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. And so, it is very disheartening if a natural pregnancy becomes difficult and prevents the birth of a healthy child. Fortunately, advancements in medicine have enabled more women with health issues to embark on the arduous journey of motherhood with confidence.

At WMN Doctors, the High-Risk Pregnancy Clinic caters to the health risks that could affect the mother before pregnancy and both mother & baby during pregnancy, delivery or after delivery.We have experienced high-risk pregnancy doctors in bangalore at WMN Doctors treat our patients with following conditions,

Women with recurrent miscarriages, previous pregnancy losses, and neonatal mishaps.
Pregnant women with medical problems like diabetes and high blood pressure (pre-existing or developed during pregnancy), thyroid disorders, heart problems, autoimmune problems (APLA, LUPUS, arthritis, etc.), blood disorders, organ diseases, and connective tissue disorders are managed in consultation with appropriate specialists.
Babies with growth restriction (IUGR), macrosomia (big babies), prematurity, twins, triplets, etc.
Pregnancy with more than one baby.
Pre-existing medical condition or chronic infection.
High blood pressure or diabetes.
Family history of a genetic disorder.
Premature labour (earlier than 37 weeks).

Counselling is an important aspect of this clinic, where the doctors spend quality time not only to optimise the care but to counsel a couple or family in a compassionate manner. Dr. Latha Venkataram, best gynaecologist in Bangalore for high-risk pregnancy holds FRCOG (UK) and MRCP (I), has been managing the high-risk pregnancy unit for more than 25 years. She is accompanied by Dr. Srimathy Raman, who is a highly qualified specialist in this area.

We encourage women with known or suspected risk factors to attend the pre-pregnancy clinic. Women with high-risk pregnancies will have to come in for checkups more frequently and be aware of warning signs to access care early. Optimising the mother’s health at this stage will pave the way to a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Going through such pregnancies can be very stressful for the mother and her family, and it is important that they are all led through the entire process with sensitivity and compassion. In our long years of experience, we have successfully managed many high-risk subspecialty clinics.
