  • Ultrasound examinations when appropriate
  • Nutritional and lifestyle guidance
  • Screening for pregnancy-related conditions

The frequency and type of care may vary depending on the stage and risk factors of the pregnancy.

What Does Pregnancy Care Include?

Pregnancy care is tailored according to the woman's health, pregnancy stage and individual requirements.

It may include:

Pregnancy Care During Different Stages

Pregnancy care changes as the pregnancy progresses.

First Trimester

Early pregnancy care may include confirmation and assessment of the pregnancy, initial blood tests, ultrasound when appropriate and evaluation of existing medical conditions or pregnancy-related risks.

Second Trimester

Care generally focuses on monitoring maternal health and fetal development, recommended screening tests and ultrasound examinations according to the pregnancy timeline.

Third Trimester

Later pregnancy care includes monitoring fetal growth and wellbeing, maternal health, preparation for delivery and discussion of the birth plan.

The exact schedule of appointments and investigations is individualised.

How Is Pregnancy Monitored?

Depending on the pregnancy and individual health, monitoring may include:

Medical & Pregnancy History

The doctor reviews previous pregnancies, medical conditions, medications, allergies and other factors that may affect pregnancy.

Blood & Urine Tests

Routine and pregnancy-specific blood and urine tests may be recommended to assess maternal health and identify conditions requiring treatment.

Ultrasound Examination

Ultrasound examinations may be recommended at different stages of pregnancy to assess fetal development, growth and other pregnancy-related factors.

Blood Pressure & Weight Monitoring

Regular monitoring of blood pressure and weight can help identify certain pregnancy-related concerns and support appropriate care.

Fetal Monitoring

As pregnancy progresses, the baby's growth and wellbeing may be assessed through clinical examination, ultrasound and other tests when medically indicated.

Pregnancy Care for High-Risk Pregnancy

Some pregnancies require closer monitoring because of maternal health conditions, previous pregnancy complications or concerns identified during pregnancy.

Factors that may require additional care include:

  • Previous pregnancy complications
  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Multiple pregnancy
  • Previous miscarriage or pregnancy loss
  • Advanced maternal age
  • Placental or fetal concerns
  • Other medical conditions

The care plan is determined according to the individual's risk factors and pregnancy needs.

Nutrition & Lifestyle During Pregnancy

Healthy nutrition and appropriate lifestyle habits are important parts of pregnancy care.

Depending on individual needs, the doctor may provide guidance regarding:

  • Balanced nutrition
  • Appropriate weight gain
  • Folic acid and other recommended supplements
  • Physical activity suitable for pregnancy
  • Medicines that are considered appropriate during pregnancy
  • Avoiding tobacco, alcohol and other harmful substances
  • Adequate rest and hydration

Pregnancy Care & Delivery Planning

As pregnancy progresses, discussions may include delivery planning, hospital arrangements, pain management options and preparation for the postpartum period.

The recommended mode and timing of delivery depend on the health of the mother, baby's position, pregnancy progression and other clinical factors.

Dr. Shweta Gupta provides individualised guidance to help women understand their pregnancy and prepare for delivery.
