High-Risk Pregnancy & Specialized Care

Expert Care for Complicated Pregnancies in Prabhadevi – Dadar, Mumbai

Not all pregnancies are the same. While many progress smoothly, some require specialized monitoring and medical intervention to ensure the health of both mother and baby. A high-risk pregnancy means that certain factors could lead to complications, but with early detection, expert care, and continuous monitoring, we can help manage risks and ensure a safe and healthy delivery.

At Dr. Sangeeta Agrawal’s Clinic in Prabhadevi – Dadar, Mumbai, we specialize in high-risk pregnancy management, providing advanced medical care and personalized treatment plans for expecting mothers facing complex conditions.


What is a High-Risk Pregnancy?

Pregnancy Due Date

A pregnancy is classified as high-risk if there are medical, obstetric, or lifestyle factors that could potentially affect the health of the mother, baby, or both. However, with specialized care and timely intervention, most high-risk pregnancies can still result in a safe and successful delivery.

If you have been diagnosed with a high-risk pregnancy, it does not mean complications will definitely occur—it simply means that extra care and monitoring are necessary to ensure the best possible outcome.


Common Causes of High-Risk Pregnancies

Several conditions and factors can make a pregnancy high-risk. At our clinic, we provide specialized monitoring and treatment for:

Medical Conditions Before or During Pregnancy

  • Hypertension (high blood pressure) – Risk of preeclampsia, preterm birth, or complications during delivery.
  • Diabetes (pre-existing or gestational diabetes) – Requires careful blood sugar control to prevent risks to the baby.
  • Thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism) – Can affect fetal development if untreated.
  • Autoimmune diseases (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) – May increase the risk of miscarriage or preterm labor.
  • Heart, kidney, or liver diseases – Need specialized pregnancy management to ensure safety.

Pregnancy-Related Complications

  • Preeclampsia and Eclampsia – High blood pressure disorders that can be dangerous if untreated.
  • Placenta Previa or Placental Abruption – Conditions where the placenta is not positioned correctly, increasing delivery risks.
  • Incompetent Cervix (Cervical Insufficiency) – The cervix may open too early, leading to preterm birth.
  • Excess or Low Amniotic Fluid (Polyhydramnios/Oligohydramnios) – Can impact fetal development and delivery.

Previous Pregnancy Loss or Complications

  • History of miscarriages or stillbirths
  • Preterm labor or preterm birth in past pregnancies
  • Previous C-section with complications
  • Recurrent pregnancy loss due to medical conditions

Multiple Pregnancies (Twins, Triplets, or More)

  • Higher risks of preterm labor and low birth weight
  • Need for more frequent monitoring and specialized birth planning

Maternal Age Factors

  • Advanced maternal age (35+ years old) – Increased risks of gestational diabetes, hypertension, and chromosomal abnormalities.
  • Teen pregnancies (below 18 years old) – Higher chances of nutritional deficiencies and pregnancy complications.

If you have one or more of these risk factors, specialized care is essential to ensure a safe pregnancy and delivery.
