High-Risk Pregnancy Care at Radha Hospital & Fertility
Every pregnancy is unique, but some require extra care and monitoring to ensure the health of both mother and baby. This is called a high-risk pregnancy. At Radha Hospital & Fertility, our mission is to provide specialized medical attention, advanced facilities, and compassionate support for mothers who need additional care during their pregnancy journey.
Led by Dr. Aishwarya Yerram, our team combines medical expertise with state-of-the-art technology to achieve the best possible outcomes for both mother and baby.
Understanding High-Risk Pregnancy
A high-risk pregnancy doesn’t mean something will definitely go wrong—it simply means the pregnancy requires closer observation and specialized care to manage potential risks. With proper monitoring and treatment, most women with high-risk pregnancies go on to have safe deliveries and healthy babies.
Who is at Risk of High-Risk Pregnancy?
A pregnancy may be considered high-risk if the mother has:
Health conditions before pregnancy – diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disease, kidney or heart problems
Pregnancy-related conditions – gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, placenta previa, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
Lifestyle factors – obesity, poor nutrition, smoking, alcohol, or high stress levels
Multiple pregnancy – carrying twins, triplets, or more
History of complications – previous miscarriage, preterm labor, stillbirth, or C-section
Maternal age concerns – pregnancies below 18 years or above 35 years
Signs and Symptoms That Need Extra Attention
During pregnancy, you should immediately consult your doctor if you notice:
Severe abdominal pain or cramping
Heavy vaginal bleeding or unusual discharge
Severe nausea and vomiting (beyond the first trimester)
High fever or chills
Blurred vision, severe headaches, or dizziness
Swelling in face, hands, or legs
Reduced or no fetal movements
Common Complications in High-Risk Pregnancies
Gestational diabetes
High blood pressure and preeclampsia
Preterm labor and delivery
Placental problems (placenta previa, placental abruption)
Low birth weight or restricted growth of the baby
Increased chances of C-section delivery
Risk of stillbirth if not properly managed

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can a high-risk pregnancy have a normal delivery?
Yes. With proper monitoring and medical care, many high-risk pregnancies can still result in a safe vaginal delivery.
2. How often should I visit the doctor during a high-risk pregnancy?
Depending on your condition, you may need more frequent checkups than normal pregnancies (every 2–4 weeks or even weekly in some cases).
3. Is bed rest necessary for high-risk pregnancy?
Not always. Bed rest is recommended only for specific conditions such as placenta previa or risk of preterm labor.
4. Does high-risk pregnancy always mean C-section?
No. While the chances of C-section are higher, many women with high-risk pregnancies still deliver vaginally.
5. Can stress affect my pregnancy?
Yes. Stress can worsen blood pressure and hormone balance. That’s why emotional support and counseling are an important part of our care at Radha Hospital.
