What Makes a Pregnancy High-Risk?
Many factors can make a pregnancy require extra care. Dr. Anju Bala provides comprehensive screening and personalized treatment plans for a wide range of maternal and fetal complications:
| Risk Factor / Condition | Clinical Impact & Risks | Our Management Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced Maternal Age | Pregnancy at age 35 or older increases risks of genetic conditions or gestational issues. | Regular genetic screening, advanced fetal monitoring, and closer maternal health checks. |
| Gestational Diabetes | High blood sugar during pregnancy can cause excessive fetal growth or early delivery. | Personalized dietary mapping, blood glucose tracking, and tailored medical therapy. |
| Hypertension & Preeclampsia | High blood pressure can restrict blood flow to the placenta and stress maternal organs. | Continuous blood pressure monitoring, fetal growth scans, and strict medication management. |
| Multiple Gestations | Carrying twins, triplets, or more increases the risk of premature labor. | Frequent ultrasound monitoring for growth discordance and cervical length assessments. |
| Recurrent Pregnancy Loss | A history of consecutive miscarriages requires specialized preventative care. | Pre-conception optimization, hormonal support, and early first-trimester tracking. |
