High-Risk Pregnancy Care

Specialised Pregnancy Care for Mother & Baby

Expert evaluation, close monitoring and personalised care for pregnancies that require additional medical attention—focused on the safety and well-being of both mother and baby.

Expert Care for High-Risk Pregnancy

A high-risk pregnancy is one in which the mother, baby, or both may require closer monitoring and specialised care during pregnancy. A pregnancy may be considered high-risk because of an existing medical condition, a complication that develops during pregnancy, maternal age, previous pregnancy complications, or a multiple pregnancy.

With appropriate antenatal surveillance, timely investigations and coordinated management, many women with high-risk pregnancies can progress safely through pregnancy and childbirth.

Dr. Mukta Seth provides individualised high-risk pregnancy care with emphasis on early identification of complications, careful monitoring and timely intervention whenever required.

Multiple Pregnancy

Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Evaluation and personalised pregnancy surveillance for women with a history of recurrent miscarriages or previous adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Previous Caesarean or Complicated Pregnancy

Individualised planning for women with previous Caesarean delivery, preterm birth, pregnancy complications or difficult obstetric history.

Advanced Maternal Age

Additional assessment and antenatal monitoring for pregnancies at advanced maternal age, based on individual risk factors.

Fetal Growth Concerns

Monitoring fetal growth and well-being when there is concern regarding fetal growth restriction or other pregnancy-related complications.

When is a pregnancy considered high-risk?

You can make this a checklist section:

Your pregnancy may require closer monitoring if you have:

• High blood pressure or diabetes

• Thyroid, kidney, cardiac or other significant medical conditions

• Multiple pregnancy (twins or more)

• Previous recurrent miscarriages

• Previous premature delivery

• Previous pregnancy-related hypertension or preeclampsia

• Previous Caesarean delivery or complicated childbirth

• Concerns regarding fetal growth

• Advanced maternal age

• Placental or cervical problems

• Other complications detected during antenatal evaluation

Our approach to high-risk pregnancy care

Early Risk Assessment

Medical history, previous pregnancy outcomes, current health conditions and relevant investigations are reviewed to identify potential risks as early as possible.

Personalised Antenatal Plan

The frequency of consultations, investigations and fetal surveillance is planned according to the individual pregnancy rather than following a one-size-fits-all schedule.

Maternal Monitoring

Blood pressure, weight, blood glucose and other appropriate clinical and laboratory parameters are monitored according to the mother's risk profile.

Fetal Surveillance

Fetal growth and well-being are assessed at appropriate intervals, with ultrasound and other investigations advised when clinically indicated.

Delivery Planning

As pregnancy progresses, the timing and mode of delivery are considered according to maternal health, fetal well-being and obstetric circumstances.

Postpartum Follow-Up

Certain pregnancy complications can continue to affect maternal health after childbirth. Appropriate postpartum assessment and follow-up are therefore an important part of care.

Warning signs during pregnancy

Seek Prompt Medical Attention

Patients should seek medical advice promptly for symptoms such as:

• Vaginal bleeding

• Leakage of fluid

• Severe abdominal pain

• Persistent severe headache

• Blurring of vision

• Sudden swelling of the face or hands

• Reduced fetal movements

• Regular painful contractions before term

• Breathlessness or chest discomfort

• Any sudden or concerning change in health

For severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, patients should seek urgent medical assessment rather than waiting for an online appointment.

FAQ section

Does high-risk pregnancy always mean there will be complications?

No. Being classified as high-risk means that closer observation or specialised management may be advisable. Many high-risk pregnancies have good outcomes with appropriate care.

How frequently should I visit the doctor?

The frequency depends on the reason the pregnancy is considered high-risk, gestational age, maternal condition and fetal well-being.

Can a woman with a high-risk pregnancy have a normal delivery?

In some cases, yes. The mode of delivery depends on the individual obstetric situation and the condition of the mother and baby near delivery.

When should high-risk pregnancy care begin?

Ideally, risk assessment should begin before conception or early in pregnancy, particularly in women with significant medical conditions or previous pregnancy complications.

Can diabetes and hypertension during pregnancy be managed?

Yes. These conditions generally require structured monitoring and appropriate treatment to reduce the risk of complications.
