High-Risk Obstetrics: Comprehensive Care for You and Your Baby
At My Lady Doc, we understand that pregnancy is a life-changing experience filled with excitement, but it can also bring concerns, especially when complications arise. That’s why we specialize in high-risk obstetrics — providing the highest level of care for both mother and baby during pregnancies that require extra attention.
What Is High-Risk Pregnancy?
A high-risk pregnancy occurs when the health of the mother or baby is at increased risk due to existing medical conditions or complications that develop during pregnancy. If you’ve been told you have a high-risk pregnancy, it doesn’t mean that your pregnancy won’t have a positive outcome, but it does mean that you’ll need specialized care.
Some common reasons why a pregnancy may be classified as high-risk include:
- Advanced maternal age (35 years or older)
- Pre-existing health conditions (such as diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease)
- Multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, or more)
- Previous pregnancy complications (such as preterm birth or preeclampsia)
- Lifestyle factors (such as smoking, alcohol use, or obesity)
Our dedicated team at My Lady Doc is equipped to manage these and other conditions, ensuring that you and your baby receive the personalized care you deserve.
Our Approach to High-Risk Obstetrics
Your health and the well-being of your baby are our top priorities. We provide a comprehensive care plan that includes regular monitoring, specialized testing, and a collaborative approach with other medical professionals. Our aim is to reduce risks and ensure the best possible outcome for both you and your child.
1. Personalized Care Plan
No two pregnancies are the same, and that’s especially true for high-risk pregnancies. We will work closely with you to develop a customized care plan that meets your specific needs. This may include more frequent prenatal visits, additional ultrasounds, or consultations with specialists.
2. Advanced Prenatal Testing
Our advanced diagnostic tools and prenatal tests allow us to monitor the health of both you and your baby more closely. From fetal monitoring to amniocentesis and non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), we utilize the latest technologies to detect and address any potential issues early.
3. Collaborative Care
High-risk pregnancies often require the expertise of a multidisciplinary team. At My Lady Doc, we collaborate with maternal-fetal medicine specialists, endocrinologists, cardiologists, and neonatologists to ensure that both you and your baby receive comprehensive care.
4. Emotional and Mental Health Support
We recognize that being told you have a high-risk pregnancy can be stressful. Our team provides not only medical care but also emotional support to help you manage anxiety and ensure you feel empowered throughout your pregnancy journey.
Common High-Risk Conditions We Manage
- Gestational diabetes: Managing blood sugar levels is critical for preventing complications.
