High-Risk Pregnancies
In India: A Growing Concern
India accounts for nearly 12% of global maternal deaths, with complications during high-risk pregnancies being a leading contributor. According to the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), approximately 20-30% of all pregnancies in India are classified as high-risk due to factors such as advanced maternal age, gestational diabetes, hypertension, and pre-existing medical conditions.
In urban centers like the city, the rise of late marriages, career-focused family planning, and increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases (PCOS, thyroid disorders, obesity) has significantly increased the proportion of high-risk pregnancies. Yet, with proper monitoring, timely intervention, and expert care, the vast majority of these pregnancies result in healthy deliveries.
Dr. Vinita Khemani's approach to high-risk pregnancy care is deeply rooted in prevention and early detection. Rather than waiting for complications to escalate, her enhanced monitoring protocols identify risks at the earliest stage, enabling proactive interventions that protect both mother and baby.
