There are numerous scenarios in which women may find themselves at an elevated risk of experiencing complications during pregnancy, attributed to factors such as maternal age, medical history, and pre-existing health conditions. Pregnancy is categorized as high risk when the expecting mother presents specific medical issues, such as diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, PCOS, obesity, fibroids, and HIV/AIDS. Women with these and other medical concerns receive comprehensive care within a multidisciplinary healthcare framework.
Approximately 3% of our annual pregnancies fall into the category of complex and high-risk, necessitating at times specialized and concentrated medical attention to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the baby. From the pre-pregnancy maternal assessment to thorough fetal evaluations and ongoing perinatal care, our comprehensive team diligently evaluates all risk factors. We are committed to delivering the highest quality care to every mother and baby, collaborating closely with neonatologists, obstetric anesthesiologists, critical care physicians, and nursing staff.
Furthermore, we offer specialized assessment and treatment to women who have experienced recurrent miscarriages and those who have undergone one or more previous cesarean sections. These women are encouraged to consider vaginal delivery, and we provide them with comprehensive care to detect any potential issues as early as possible, allowing for timely interventions.
