Obstetrics

A birth of a child is also an birth of a mother. As obstetricians, we walk the extra mile to make this a memorable and cherishable experience. Right from the initial pregnancy test we will walk you through to the birthing of your child assisting and guiding you through various phases of your pregnancy.

Antenatal Screening and Counselling:

Regular medical visits, screening tests, and diagnostic tests will help assess your health status to keep you and your baby in a healthy condition during your pregnancy.The routine visits to the doctor are scheduled so that any problems present may be recognized and treated well in advance. These visits also educate you on handling various aspects of your pregnancy. We will discuss about healthy eating, activity, screening tests necessary and what can be expected during labour and delivery.

We will counsel you for Third Trimester Issues and Considerations, Safety trips for travelling, preterm births, breech presentation of your baby , your due date and several other issues as and when the need arises.

Foetal Monitoring:

Foetal monitoring is the procedure used to assess the rate and rhythm of the foetal heart and determine the foetus’s health. It is generally recommended during late pregnancy and labour.

The average heart rate of the foetus lies between 110 and 160 beats per minute, which can vary up to 5-25 beats per minute. The heart rate may vary as the foetus responds to the uterine conditions, but an abnormal pattern may indicate problems such as the lack of oxygen supplied to the foetus.

Birthing:

Be it the first pregnancy or the next; We understand the fact that every woman’s labour is different. We will guide you through the various phases of birthing. Be it the early labour,Second stage ot the thrird stage where the plcaenta is expelled.

In certain cases, one may expect complications such as weak contractions which can cause foetal distress, passage obstruction abnormal presentation of the foetus, etc.

Natural Birth:

Natural birth is a method of delivering a baby without relying on medication and other medical interventions.

When the baby is ready to come out, your cervix (opening of the womb) thins out and begins to widen (dilate) to about 10 cm. Contractions help the baby to move down the birth canal. This is described as intense pain and pressure that increases during the course of the delivery, and is generally feared by many women.

Caesarean Birth:

Caesarean birth happens through an incision in the abdominal wall and uterus rather than through the vagina. There has been a gradual increase in caesarean births over the past 30 years. The normal caesarean procedure averages 45 minutes to an hour. The baby is usually delivered in the first 5-15 minutes with the remaining time used for closing the incision.

A Caesarean section is often performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby’s or mother’s life or health at risk. Some are also performed upon request without a medical reason to do so, which is not recommended. Planned caesarean sections also known as elective caesarean sections should not be scheduled before 39 weeks.
