Jaipur: With a noticeable rise in high-risk pregnancy cases, Consultant Obstetrician, Gynaecologist & Laparoscopic Surgeon Dr. Surekha Jangid from Priyush Multispeciality Hospital has stressed the importance of proper pregnancy planning and timely antenatal care.

Dr. Jangid explained that a pregnancy is termed “high risk” when complications may affect the health of the mother, the baby, or both. Factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disorders, obesity, advanced maternal age, previous miscarriages, twin/multiple pregnancies, and poor lifestyle habits significantly increase the chances of complications.

How to Reduce the Risks of High-Risk Pregnancy

Dr. Surekha Jangid suggests that women planning pregnancy should follow a structured, preventive approach:

Pre-Pregnancy Counselling

A thorough medical check-up helps identify and manage existing health conditions before conception.

Healthy Lifestyle & Nutrition

A balanced diet, healthy weight, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking/alcohol reduce pregnancy risks.

Timely Vaccinations

Vaccines like rubella, tetanus, influenza etc. are essential to protect both mother and baby.

Regular Antenatal Checkups

Routine blood tests, ultrasound scans, and monthly monitoring help detect issues early.

Managing Chronic Diseases Carefully

Conditions like thyroid imbalance, hypertension, and diabetes must be closely monitored throughout pregnancy.

Birth Preparedness Plan

Choosing the right hospital, preparing for emergencies, and scheduling follow-ups ensure safer deliveries.
