Management of High-Risk Pregnancy

Pregnancy treatment in Mysore

One of the specialities of the Manipal Hospitals, Mysore, is the management of high-risk pregnancy counselling, which includes additional monitoring, counselling and care to ensure the best possible outcome for the mother and her infant. It involves evaluating potential risks, providing support and guidance to help manage any risks that may arise, and monitoring the health of both mother and baby throughout the pregnancy. Regular prenatal visits and ultrasounds are necessary throughout the pregnancy to monitor the baby's growth and development and identify potential risks. In some cases, additional tests may also be recommended. The doctor while providing pregnancy treatment in Mysore will discuss any identified risks and guide how to manage them. In addition to regular medical care, the doctor may recommend lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, reducing stress, and getting adequate rest. Changes in diet are also suggested to ensure the mother gets the nutrition she needs. 

Pre-procedure

The pre-procedure for managing high-risk pregnancy includes a comprehensive assessment of the mother and the fetus. It begins with a detailed medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. This includes blood work, urine tests, ultrasound scans, and fetal heart rate monitoring. This assessment aims to identify any underlying medical conditions or risk factors that could complicate the pregnancy.

During the pre-procedure, the obstetrician will also discuss the risks and benefits of the various available treatments with the patient. Depending on the results of the pre-procedure assessment, the doctor may recommend additional tests, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, to assess the risks better and make an informed decision regarding the best course of action.

Procedure

  • The healthcare provider will closely monitor the mother and baby during labour. This can involve the use of ultrasound and fetal monitoring. In some cases, a cesarean section may be necessary. After delivery, the newborn should be closely monitored for any health issues.

  • The management of a high-risk pregnancy should also involve proper nutrition and exercise. Appropriate food can help reduce the risk of complications and ensure the mother's and baby's health. Regular exercise can also help reduce the risk of preterm labour and congenital disabilities.

  • In addition, it is crucial to provide emotional support to the mother and her family during this time. This may include counselling and support groups. Providing regular education and information on the risks associated with high-risk pregnancies is also essential.

  • Properly managing high-risk pregnancies can improve the mother and baby's health, positively impacting their lives in the long term.

Post-procedure

  • The post-procedure management of high-risk pregnancies should include continued monitoring of the mother and the fetus. The post-procedure period should consist of regular prenatal visits and ultrasounds to monitor the baby's health and standard lab tests to monitor the mother's health.

  • The care team should also provide guidance and support to the mother, including answering questions, providing emotional support and helping her to manage her lifestyle. It is essential to provide prenatal education to the mother and her family about the risks of high-risk pregnancies.

  • The care team should also be prepared to provide medical interventions if necessary, such as antibiotics to treat infections, medications to reduce preterm labour, and medications to control pregnancy-related complications such as high blood pressure.

  • In addition to medical interventions, lifestyle changes may be necessary to reduce the risk of complications. This may include quitting smoking, avoiding alcohol and drugs, and maintaining a healthy diet.
