The Department of Obstetrics at Manipal Hospitals Bangalore guides pregnant women from conception to delivery through targeted scans, counselling, and safe delivery planning. Epidural support is available when advised. For high-risk cases, we work closely with other specialties, such as neonatology and fetal medicine, to provide expert care for newborns, especially those who may need specialized attention in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Obstetric care at our maternity hospital in Bangalore includes antenatal care, anomaly and growth scans, birth-plan counselling, and labour support with or without an epidural. After birth, our medical team guides feeding, pain control, and wound care for the new mother. A short calendar, hydration targets, and movement tips will be provided for faster recovery of the mother during the postpartum phase.

Antenatal care (regular check-ups, diagnostic tests, and personalized care plans)
Well-equipped labour and delivery suites with various birthing options (vaginal delivery and C-section)

As soon as you suspect pregnancy or plan to conceive, book your first visit with our top OBG specialists in Bangalore at Manipal Hospitals. Early monitoring of vitamins, hormones, and foetal growth prevents complications. We guide you step-by-step, from diet to safe exercise and screening schedules.
Both have risks and benefits; vaginal birth aids faster recovery, while C-section may be chosen for specific medical reasons. We discuss your history, preferences, and any foetal considerations to recommend the safest route. Our gentle surgical protocols aim to reduce pain and speed healing when a C-section is needed.
Many women qualify for VBAC under careful monitoring and selection criteria. We assess scar thickness, prior birth history, and overall health to determine suitability. Continuous labour support and emergency preparedness make VBAC a safe option for many.
Annual Pap smears, HPV testing, and pelvic exams are recommended from age 21 or earlier if symptoms arise. Breast ultrasound or mammography follows age-based guidelines and risk factors.
Lifestyle measures, a balanced diet, exercise and stress relief help immensely. Hormone replacement therapy is tailored by our specialists to your risk profile and symptom severity. We review progress regularly to adjust therapies and support bone, heart and mental health.
