Best Obstetrician Doctors in Indore – Dr Monika Raghuwanshi
What is Obstetrics ?
Obstetrics is a branch of medicine that deals with patients who are pregnant,including child birth and midwifery. Pregnancy can be healthy or an abnormal one requiring careful treatment. An obstetrician plays a pivotal role in the care of a pregnant patient and her unborn baby.
Dr Monika Raghuwanshi will ensure that you and your baby sails through this journey with ease, comfort and highest level of care. The spectrum of obstetrics comprises of various phases enumerated as follows:
Complications of Pregnancy
Some women experience health problems during pregnancy. These complications can involve the mother’s health, the fetus’s health, or both. Even women who were healthy before getting pregnant can experience complications. These complications may make the pregnancy a high-risk pregnancy.
Preeclampsia :-
Preeclampsia :-Preeclampsia is a serious medical condition that can lead to preterm delivery and death. Its cause is unknown, but some women are at an increased risk. Risk factors include:
1. First pregnancies
2. Preeclampsia in a previous pregnancy
3. Existing conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus
4. Being 35 years of age or older
5. Carrying two or more fetuses
6. Obesity
Diabetes in Pregnancy :-
Diabetes is a disease that affects how your body turns food into energy. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. For pregnant people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, high blood sugar around the time of conception increases the risk of birth defects, stillbirth, and preterm birth. Among people with any type of diabetes, high blood sugar throughout pregnancy can also increase the risk of preeclampsia, cesarean delivery, and the baby being born too large. To manage your diabetes, see your doctor as recommended, monitor your blood sugar levels, follow a good nutrition plan developed with your provider or dietician, be physically active, and take insulin, if directed. Managing diabetes can help you have a healthy pregnancy. If you have diabetes before pregnancy or develop it during pregnancy, it’s important to continue seeing your health care provider after pregnancy to monitor your blood sugar and overall health.
Twin Pregnancy :-
A twin pregnancy means there are two fetuses in the uterus. This is a rare occurrence that can be due to family history, fertility treatments or other factors. Healthcare providers can detect twins early using ultrasound. A twin pregnancy raises the risk of complications for the pregnant person and fetuses, which is why more frequent prenatal care is necessary.
Obesity in Pregnancy :-
Obstetric providers should be aware of these risks and modify patient care before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and postpartum to reduce the risk of these adverse outcomes. Although clinical practice guidelines for management of pregnant people and people planning pregnancy with obesity vary, they consistently recommend pregnancy risk counseling, a healthy diet, exercise, and dietician referral for managing weight loss and gestational weight gain
