High-risk pregnancies involve potential complications for the mother, baby, or both. Conditions like advanced maternal age, pre-existing medical disorders, or multiple pregnancies increase risks. Symptoms may include bleeding , unusual pain, or abnormal fetal movements. Such pregnancies require close monitoring to ensure safe outcomes.
Our Comprehensive Care Services:
- Ultrasound
- Blood pressure monitoring
- Glucose tolerance tests
- Prenatal checks
- Fetal monitoring
- Fetal growth scans
- Preterm labor management
Our multidisciplinary team ensures the highest standard of care for complex pregnancies, so that you are in safe hands.
2. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)
GDM occurs when blood sugar levels rise during pregnancy due to insulin resistance. This condition increases risks for both mother and baby, including preterm birth or large birth weight (macrosomia). Symptoms are often mild or undetectable but may include excessive thirst or frequent urination.
Our Comprehensive Care Services:
- Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and blood glucose monitoring
- Dietary and lifestyle counselling
- Insulin therapy
With proactive management, we help ensure a healthy pregnancy for both you and your baby.
3. Preeclampsia and Eclampsia
Preeclampsia involves high blood pressure and organ dysfunction, while eclampsia includes seizures. Symptoms include severe headaches, vision changes, swelling, and proteinuria (too much protein in the urine indicating kidney disease). If untreated, these conditions pose serious risks to you and your baby.
Our Comprehensive Care Services:
- Blood pressure monitoring
- Urine protein tests
- Doppler ultrasounds to monitor fetal well-being
- Antihypertensive medications
Our team at the Apollo Centre for Obstetrics and Gynecology provides vigilant monitoring and timely intervention to minimise complications.
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilised egg implants outside the uterus, typically in a fallopian tube. This is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate care. Symptoms include sharp pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding, and dizziness.
Our Comprehensive Care Services:
- Transvaginal ultrasound
- Quantitative HCG testing
- Medical termination for early cases
- Surgical removal for advanced cases
We prioritise your safety while providing compassionate and expert care.
5. Miscarriage
Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks, often caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Symptoms may include vaginal bleeding, cramping, and the passage of tissue.
Our Comprehensive Care Services:
- Ultrasound
- HCG testing
- Medical termination or dilation and curettage (D&C)
- Assessment of risk factors, prevention of future miscarriages
At the Centre for Gynecology and Obstetrics, we offer sensitive and comprehensive support for physical and emotional recovery.
Placental issues such as placenta previa (covering the cervix) or placental abruption (premature detachment) can cause bleeding, preterm delivery, or fetal distress. Symptoms often include abdominal pain or heavy vaginal bleeding.
Our Comprehensive Care Services:
- Ultrasound
- Fetal monitoring
- Corticosteroids for fetal lung development
- Planned C-section
Placing the utmost importance on safety, our team ensures continuous care to protect both you and your baby.
Preterm labor occurs before 37 weeks of gestation, potentially leading to complications like respiratory distress in the baby. Symptoms include frequent contractions, back pain, and pressure in the pelvis.
Our Comprehensive Care Services:
- Cervical length ultrasound: a shortened cervix may indicate higher risk for preterm labour
- Fetal fibronectin test: The presence of this protein in vaginal secretions may predict risk for preterm labour.
- Medication to delay labor
- Corticosteroids for fetal lung maturation
- Neonatal intensive care
Working collaboratively with other departments, we provide advanced care to improve outcomes for preterm deliveries.
8. Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH)
PPH is excessive bleeding after childbirth due to uterine atony (uterus doesn’t contract enough after childbirth), retained placental tissue, or trauma. Symptoms include heavy vaginal bleeding, dizziness, or low blood pressure.
Our Comprehensive Care Services:
- Physical exams
- Imaging for retained tissue
- Uterotonics (oxytocin given to stop excess bleeding)
- Surgical interventions
- Blood transfusions if needed
Our rapid-response protocols ensure safe and effective management of PPH.
This condition involves severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, leading to dehydration and weight loss. Symptoms may include extreme fatigue, inability to retain food or fluids, and rapid weight loss.
Our Comprehensive Care Services:
- Blood tests for electrolyte imbalances
- Urinalysis for ketones
- Intravenous fluids
- Appropriate Antiemetic medications
- Diet counselling
Our team of experts at the Apollo Centre for Obstetrics and Gynecology help you manage symptoms and maintain proper hydration and nutrition.
