Sai Speciality Center provides comprehensive high-risk pregnancy care for women who require extra monitoring during pregnancy due to medical conditions, pregnancy complications, or previous pregnancy history. Our goal is to protect the health of both mother and baby through early diagnosis, regular monitoring and personalised treatment.
Whether you have diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, multiple pregnancy or a previous pregnancy complication, our experienced obstetrician provides specialised care to help you have a safer pregnancy and delivery.
A high-risk pregnancy is one in which the mother, baby or both have a greater chance of developing health complications during pregnancy, labour or delivery. While many women with high-risk pregnancies have healthy babies, they often require more frequent antenatal visits, additional scans and closer medical supervision.
A pregnancy may be considered high-risk because of the mother's medical condition, age, previous pregnancy history or problems that develop during pregnancy.
Regular monitoring helps identify complications early, allowing timely treatment and improving pregnancy outcomes. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), quality antenatal care is essential for reducing maternal and newborn complications.
High-risk pregnancies may require additional care throughout pregnancy. Some women have pre-existing medical conditions, while others develop complications after becoming pregnant.
Women with chronic hypertension or pregnancy-induced hypertension require regular blood pressure monitoring because uncontrolled blood pressure can affect both the mother and baby.
Diabetes that develops during pregnancy requires careful monitoring of blood sugar levels, dietary management, and regular fetal growth assessment to reduce pregnancy complications.
Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can affect pregnancy and fetal development. Proper thyroid management helps support a healthy pregnancy.
Women with one or more previous miscarriages may require closer monitoring during future pregnancies to identify and manage possible risk factors.
Pregnancies involving twins or more babies have a higher chance of complications such as premature labour, growth differences and high blood pressure, requiring more frequent antenatal visits and ultrasound scans.
Women who become pregnant after the age of 35 may have an increased risk of gestational diabetes, hypertension, chromosomal abnormalities, and pregnancy complications.
Women with a previous Caesarean delivery may require additional monitoring and delivery planning depending on the reason for the previous surgery and the current pregnancy.
If the baby's growth is slower or faster than expected, additional ultrasound scans and fetal monitoring may be recommended.
