What is Pregnancy Care?
Pregnancy care includes regular check-ups, tests, screenings, and guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy. Antenatal care focuses on monitoring both the mother and baby’s health through routine appointments, ultrasounds, blood tests, and prenatal vitamins. Postnatal care focuses on the recovery and well-being of the mother after childbirth, ensuring she heals properly and gets the necessary support in caring for the newborn.
At Dr. Shruti Sharma clinic, we also specialize in managing high-risk pregnancies. These pregnancies require additional monitoring and care due to factors such as maternal age, pre-existing conditions, or complications during pregnancy. Our goal is to provide a tailored care plan to ensure the best outcomes for both mother and baby.
Why Is Pregnancy Care Important?
Pregnancy care is essential for the following reasons:
- Monitoring Baby’s Health: Regular check-ups help ensure the baby is growing properly and is free from complications.
- Managing High-Risk Pregnancies: For women with conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or multiple pregnancies, extra care is needed.
- Preventing Complications: Regular tests help detect potential issues such as gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, or fetal growth restriction.
- Promoting Maternal Health: Care focuses on maintaining the mother’s health by preventing conditions like anemia, infections, and ensuring proper nutrition.
Antenatal Care – What to Expect
During antenatal care, you will undergo:
- Routine Checkups: Regular visits to monitor your health and baby’s development.
- Screening Tests: Blood tests, ultrasounds, glucose tolerance tests, and screenings for genetic conditions.
- Nutrition Guidance: Personalized advice on what to eat and how to maintain optimal health during pregnancy.
- Managing High-Risk Pregnancies: Close monitoring if you have pre-existing conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or other complications.
Your antenatal visits will be scheduled at regular intervals throughout the pregnancy to ensure the best care for both you and your baby.
Postnatal Care – Recovery and Well-being
Postnatal care is essential for the mother’s recovery after childbirth. It includes:
- Physical Recovery: Monitoring the healing process after vaginal delivery or C-section and ensuring proper recovery.
- Breastfeeding Support: Guidance on breastfeeding and managing any difficulties with feeding.
- Emotional Health: Addressing any concerns like postpartum depression or anxiety and providing mental health support.
- Baby Care: Ensuring your baby is feeding well, growing normally, and receiving the necessary vaccinations and check-ups.
High-Risk Pregnancy Management
A high-risk pregnancy requires additional care and monitoring to manage complications. Conditions that may lead to a high-risk pregnancy include:
- Hypertension or pre-eclampsia
- Gestational diabetes
- Multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets)
- Previous pregnancy complications or miscarriages
- Advanced maternal age (35 or older)
- Existing chronic conditions (e.g., heart disease, kidney issues)
At Dr. Girish Sharma’s clinic, we specialize in managing high-risk pregnancies through personalized care plans, advanced monitoring, and the latest medical technologies to ensure the health and safety of both the mother and baby.

FAQ: Pregnancy Care
Pregnancy care ensures the health and safety of both mother and baby, preventing complications and promoting healthy development throughout pregnancy and after birth.
High-risk pregnancies are those with a higher likelihood of complications due to conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, multiple pregnancies, or advanced maternal age.
Antenatal visits include health check-ups, ultrasounds, blood tests, and discussions about your lifestyle, diet, and pregnancy symptoms.
Postnatal recovery time varies, but most women recover physically within 6 weeks, although emotional and mental recovery may take longer.
Depending on the nature of your risk factors, we will work together to create a personalized birth plan that ensures the safest possible delivery method.
It’s best to begin antenatal care as soon as you know you are pregnant to ensure early screening, support, and guidance throughout your pregnancy.
