Maternity and Antenatal Care for Patients from KR Puram

Good pregnancy care starts early: a first visit soon after a positive test, regular check-ups, planned scans and blood tests, and a clear plan for what to do when labour starts. Sai Speciality Center, in Kasturi Nagar, Bengaluru, looks after women from KR Puram, Horamavu, Banaswadi, Ramamurthy Nagar and Tin Factory through preconception planning, antenatal care, high-risk pregnancy care, birth planning and postnatal follow-up. Care is led by Dr. Kavitha Lakshmi Easwaran, MBBS, MD (OBG), Senior Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist.

Quick answers

When should I book my first visit? As soon as a home test is positive, and ideally before 12 weeks.
Which scans are usual? A dating scan at about 11 to 14 weeks and a detailed scan at about 18 to 21 weeks. Your doctor may add others.
What tests are routine? Blood group and blood count, urine tests, blood pressure checks and, around 24 to 28 weeks, a test for gestational diabetes where advised.
Do you manage high-risk pregnancies? Yes. Diabetes, high blood pressure, twins, thyroid problems and earlier complications need closer care.
When should I call urgently? Bleeding, severe pain, leaking fluid, severe headache, fever, or reduced baby movements.

Before You Conceive

If you are planning a pregnancy, a visit beforehand lets us check your health, review medicines, and talk about folic acid, vaccinations, weight, thyroid and blood sugar. Read more on our preconception care page.

What Antenatal Care Involves

The exact timetable depends on your health and how the pregnancy is going, but a typical pattern is:

First visit: history, examination, blood group, blood count, urine tests, blood pressure, and a plan for the months ahead. Your last period and any earlier pregnancies are reviewed to set a due date
11 to 14 weeks: dating scan, which confirms the due date and number of babies. Screening for chromosome conditions can be discussed at this stage
18 to 21 weeks: detailed scan to check the baby’s development
24 to 28 weeks: a test for gestational diabetes where it is advised, particularly if you have risk factors
Later visits: blood pressure, urine, growth of the bump, the baby’s movements, and discussion about birth and feeding

Every visit includes blood pressure and urine checks, because high blood pressure and infection can develop quietly. See our pages on antenatal care and pregnancy care and pregnancy tests.

High-Risk Pregnancy Care

A pregnancy needs closer care when there is diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, twins, a previous miscarriage or caesarean, a low-lying placenta, or poor growth of the baby. These women usually need more frequent visits and extra scans. Details are on our high-risk pregnancy care page.

Warning Signs: When to Call or Go to Hospital

Vaginal bleeding
Severe or constant abdominal pain
Fluid leaking from the vagina
Severe headache, blurred vision or sudden swelling of the face and hands
Fever or burning when passing urine
Your baby moving less than usual
Regular painful tightening before 37 weeks

Do not wait for your next appointment. Call the clinic, or go to a hospital emergency department if it is out of hours or very severe.

Planning the Birth and Life After

Towards the end of pregnancy we talk through labour, pain relief, the options for delivery, when to leave for hospital, and what to pack. Our delivery guidance page explains this in more detail. After the birth, postnatal care covers recovery, feeding, family planning and mood.

What to Bring to Your First Visit

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I see a doctor after a positive pregnancy test?

As soon as you can, and ideally before 12 weeks. An early visit lets us confirm the pregnancy, check your health and plan your scans and tests.

How many antenatal visits will I need?

It depends on your health and the pregnancy. Many women are seen more often as the due date approaches, and high-risk pregnancies need more visits. Your doctor will give you a schedule.

What scans do I need during pregnancy?

Most women have a dating scan at about 11 to 14 weeks and a detailed scan at about 18 to 21 weeks. Extra scans are arranged if there is a reason, such as a growth concern or a bleeding episode.

Is it normal to feel the baby move less in late pregnancy?

Babies have quiet spells, but a clear drop in movement is a warning sign. Call the clinic or go to hospital the same day rather than waiting.

What makes a pregnancy high risk?

Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, twins, earlier pregnancy complications or a low-lying placenta. High-risk does not mean something will go wrong, only that closer care is wise.

Can I plan my delivery with you?

Yes. We discuss your options, your health and your preferences, and explain what to do when labour starts. Ask about this at your visit around the third trimester, or sooner if you have questions.

Do I need to see the doctor after the baby is born?

Yes. A postnatal check looks at your recovery, bleeding, mood, feeding and family planning. Contact us earlier if you have fever, heavy bleeding or low mood.
