High Risk Pregnancy
A high-risk pregnancy refers to a pregnancy that carries a higher likelihood of complications for the mother, baby, or both. Several factors can contribute to a high-risk pregnancy, including maternal age, pre-existing medical conditions, and pregnancy-related complications. Understanding these factors and seeking appropriate care can help ensure the best outcomes for both mother and child.
Twin Pregnancy
A twin pregnancy occurs when a woman carries two fetuses at the same time. Identical twins result from a single egg splitting into two, making them genetically identical. Fraternal twins happen when two eggs are fertilized by separate sperm, and they can be of different genders and genetically distinct.
Hypertensive Pregnancy
Hypertensive pregnancy is a condition characterized by high blood pressure during pregnancy. It encompasses various hypertensive disorders, each with its own set of characteristics and potential complications. These conditions can affect the mother’s and the baby’s health, making early diagnosis and management essential.
NST (Non-Stress Testing)
Non-Stress Testing or NST, is a non-invasive procedure used to monitor the heart rate of the fetus. It evaluates the baby’s heart rate in response to its movements, providing information about the baby’s well-being. This test is often recommended when a healthcare provider wants to assess the health of the fetus in cases where there may be concerns regarding growth, gestational age, or potential complications.
Labor & Delivery
Labor and delivery refer to the process of childbirth, from the onset of contractions to the delivery of the baby and the placenta. Labour is typically divided into three stages: early labor, active labor, and the delivery of the baby. Each stage involves different physical changes and sensations, and understanding these can help you prepare mentally and physically for the birthing experience.
Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that occurs only during pregnancy. It is different from type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as it specifically arises due to hormonal changes and the body’s increased demand for insulin. Early detection and management are vital to prevent complications.
Painless Labor Delivery
Painless labor delivery refers to childbirth with minimal to no discomfort for the mother. This approach utilizes advanced pain management techniques to help manage the sensations associated with labor. The goal is to reduce stress and anxiety during the birthing process, allowing mothers to focus on welcoming their newborn with a sense of calm.
Prenatal Counselling
Prenatal counselling is a supportive service offered to pregnant individuals and couples to address physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of pregnancy. It encompasses a range of topics and provides valuable information to help expectant parents make informed decisions during this special time. Prenatal counselling can be beneficial for anyone looking to better understand their pregnancy journey and prepare for childbirth.
Pre-term Delivery
Pre-term delivery is childbirth that occurs before the 37th week of pregnancy. Babies born pre-term can face complications, such as respiratory issues, difficulty feeding, and developmental concerns. It’s essential to be aware of the signs and risk factors that can contribute to pre-term labor.
Post-partum Care
Post-partum care refers to the medical, emotional, and practical support provided to mothers in the weeks following childbirth. It is essential for ensuring the well-being of both the mother and the newborn during this time.
