High Risk Pregnancy Care in Borivali

Pregnancy is a special journey, but sometimes it may require extra monitoring and medical care. A pregnancy is called high risk when the mother, baby, or both have a higher chance of complications before or during delivery.

With expert monitoring and timely treatment, most high risk pregnancies can still result in a safe and healthy delivery. If you are looking for high risk pregnancy care in Borivali, consult Dr Vaishali Bandgar for complete antenatal monitoring, risk management and delivery planning.

What is High Risk Pregnancy?

A high risk pregnancy means the mother or baby requires extra medical attention due to certain medical conditions, pregnancy-related problems or past pregnancy history. It does not mean something will definitely go wrong — it means the pregnancy needs special care and close monitoring.

Who is at Risk of High Risk Pregnancy?

  • Women above 35 years age
  • History of miscarriage
  • Previous C-section or pregnancy complications
  • Twin pregnancy or multiple pregnancy
  • Thyroid, BP, diabetes or chronic illness
  • Obesity or underweight

Common Causes of High Risk Pregnancy

  • High BP (Hypertension): increases risk of preeclampsia and baby growth issues
  • Gestational Diabetes: high sugar during pregnancy affects baby weight and delivery risk
  • Thyroid Disorders: needs proper medicine and monitoring
  • Anemia: low hemoglobin increases weakness and delivery complications
  • Placenta problems: low-lying placenta or placenta previa
  • Infections: urine infection or other infections affecting pregnancy
  • Preterm labor risk: contractions before full pregnancy term
