Obstetrics Care
Categorization of pregnancy by the experts is just to bestow a special care, when any complications are being suspected for the mother or the fetus.
High Risk Obstetrics
A pregnancy is said to be high risk pregnancy if you need extra care to manage your pregnancy. The problem may be something that you already had; or may be something that has come up during this pregnancy.
Many different problems such as pre-existing anemia, pre-existing diabetes, asthma, thyroid problems etc. may put your pregnancy at risk. Hence, it is important that you see a gynaecologist prior to falling pregnant, in order to make sure that everything is going well before you embark on pregnancy. High risk pregnancy will need regular checkup & regular follow up & investigation, so that the outcome for you and your baby are the best.
Even situations like twin pregnancy are considered high risk.

What are the risk factors for a high-risk pregnancy?
Sometimes a high-risk pregnancy is the result of a medical condition present before pregnancy. In other cases, a medical condition that develops during pregnancy for either you or your baby causes a pregnancy to become high risk.
Specific factors that might contribute to a high-risk pregnancy include:
Advanced maternal age: Pregnancy risks are higher for mothers older than age 35.
- Lifestyle choices. Smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and using illegal drugs can put a pregnancy at risk.
Maternal health problems. High blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, epilepsy, thyroid disease, heart or blood disorders, poorly controlled asthma, auto immune disorders, renal & cardiac disorders and infections can increase pregnancy risks.
Multiple pregnancy. Pregnancy risks are higher for women carrying twins or higher order multiples.
Pregnancy complications. Various complications that develop during pregnancy can pose risks. Examples include an abnormal placenta position, fetal growth less than the 10th percentile for gestational age (fetal growth restriction) and rhesus (Rh) sensitization — a potentially serious condition that can occur when your blood group is Rh negative and your baby’s blood group is Rh positive.
Pregnancy history. A history of pregnancy-related hypertension disorders, such as preeclampsia, increases your risk of having this diagnosis during your next pregnancy. If you gave birth prematurely in your last pregnancy or you’ve had multiple premature births, you’re at increased risk of an early delivery in your next pregnancy. Talk to your health care provider about your complete obstetric history.

- 2.Ankita Sharma
- I consulted Dr Vidya Gayathri for my Pregnancy. This was my first pregnancy and I was very nervous. She was very friendly and she guided very well with detailed information with the issues and the process to overcome that. She was always reachable either over call , message or physical visit. I had minor complications with low lying placenta and growth of baby.
- She handled these complications very effectively. Even during my delivery day I was very nervous. But she was very supportive. Generally post C section days are bit painful for few days, but believe me, with Dr Vidya Gayathri it won't be that. She is very friendly. I would highly recommend her.
