Most couples avoid pregnancy for the first two to three years by using simple methods like coitus interruptus, condoms, avoiding sex near ovulation, or oral contraceptive pills. Emergency contraception can be used on occasion.

When a couple wants to start a family, they try simple methods like having sex around the time of ovulation (using the calendar method) or using methods to pinpoint ovulation (the release of an egg during the fertile period), such as a urine- basedLhdetection ovulation kit or follicular monitoring with vaginal ultrasound. In just over a year, nearly 90% of couples are able to conceive using this method. Only about 10% of couples are successful in conceiving a child. These ten percent of couples are considered infertile, and further research is conducted on them. Before conceiving, the couple should have blood tests, thalassemia tests, and rubella tests performed so that they can take preventive measures.

Patients who don’t get their period have a high chance of becoming pregnant. When the pregnancy is more than 5 to 6 weeks, a pregnancy test on the first sample of urine, a blood test called serum B HCG test, or an ultrasound can confirm the pregnancy. An early ultrasound can also determine whether the pregnancy is ectopic (in the tube), multiple (twins or triplets), or not viable (miscarriage)

You can see our gynaecologist, who will confirm your pregnancy, calculate your EDD, and register your name with a hospital for delivery. Based on your home address, insurance coverage limits, ability to pay, sense of safety, accreditation (NABH, JCI, Manyata), and comfort (past history) with a particular hospital, you can deliver in a small private hospital, a medium sized specialty hospital, or a large corporate hospital.

Investigations to be carried out while pregnant: Weight, BMI, Blood pressure, Hemoglobin, CBC, ESR, Blood Group, blood sugar, urine routine (for pus cells, blood, sugars, and proteins), Bleeding Time, Clotting Time, VDRL, HIV, HCV, HbSAg, TSH, Rubella antibodies, Vitamin D, Vit B 12, double marker /quadruple markers, ultrasound (around 11-12 weeks, 16-18 weeks, 28-32 weeks, and 34-36 weeks) Many couples have recently undergone preconceptional genetic screening, also known as carrier screening.If there is a family history of an abnormal child or a history of consanguineous marriage, this is especially important. A COVID PCR test is now required 5 days prior to planning delivery/induction of labor/LSCS. Please be aware that in India, sex detection and sex selection are both illegal and punishable by fines and imprisonment for both the doctor and the patients.

Foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals During the first three months of pregnancy, the patient is given folic acid orally. During the next six months of her pregnancy, she will be given iron and calcium tablets. She is also given nutritional supplements that contain proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to meet her and the foetus; needs. She must sleep for at least 10 hours per day. Sleeping in the left lateral position is ideal.

Tests to determine the health of the foetus. In the third trimester, the women are instructed to begin keeping a foetal movement count. Regular non-stress testing combined with an ultrasound colour doppler examination once a week can effectively monitor the pregnancy in high-risk patients.

Exercise prior to conception It’s best to do some light exercises every day, such as walking for 30 minutes. Prenatal classes are also available. Breathing exercises are taught in these classes. These are extremely beneficial in reducing pain and discomfort during labour and delivery. They also aid in the likelihood of a normal delivery.

Midwives: Many patients want to use the services of midwives, who are nurses who specialise in childbirth. We can provide you with a midwife if you require one. She’ll be present for the duration of the delivery. The fees for the midwife will be in addition to the gynaecological fees.

Breast-feeding: We believe that breast-feeding is the best option. Breastfeeding and bonding with the newborn baby are encouraged for the mother. Breastfeeding should be continued for at least six months and up to two years. The child will be protected from infections and illness as a result of this.

Neonatal care is important. We have expert paediatricians on hand during childbirth and 24 hours a day, seven days a week afterward. The child is given proper neonatal care. All vaccinations are administered in accordance with the Indian Association of Pediatricians’ recommendations.
