When a woman is experiencing complications with her pregnancy, she needs confidence that her medical team has the knowledge and training to guide her through the uncertain days ahead. Dr. Kompal Gadh is an award-winning obstetrician who offers hope and compassionate care to women in Weston and Pembroke Pines, Florida, who are facing pregnancy complications. The Advanced OBGYN Institute is a state-of-the-art facility with the latest monitoring equipment to help high-risk pregnancies bring forth healthy babies.
Any number of complications during pregnancy can make a pregnancy high-risk. Some common risks include:
The doctors at the Advanced OBGYN Institute are passionate about protecting the health of their patients and their babies. Working with the providers to keep all recommended appointments and follow through with the monitoring tests recommended is one of the best ways for a mom to support her growing baby during a high-risk pregnancy.
Some high-risk pregnancies require the services of a maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialist.
Also known as perinatology, maternal-fetal medicine involves the management of any health concerns before, during and after the birth for the mother and the child.
When they are needed Dr. Gadh will refer their patients to this high-risk specialist for testing and advice, to learn how to manage the pregnancy and the complications.
MFM specialists have additional training in high-risk pregnancies and may have testing equipment not available in the clinics for following the baby's development.
Not necessarily. Some risks are going to be present in future pregnancies, such as the risk of preterm labor or the risks associated with maternal health conditions. Other risks, like genetic defects in the baby or pregnancy with multiples, aren't necessarily repeated. The Advanced OBGYN Institute will help women understand their risks not only in their current pregnancies, but also in future pregnancies, as they decide the future of their family planning.
Not all pregnancy risks are avoidable, but a woman who wants to have the healthiest possible pregnancy should pay attention to her own health before becoming pregnant. Entering pregnancy at a healthy weight and without unnecessary health problems can reduce the risk of pregnancy complications. Using prenatal vitamins, exercising through pregnancy, and practicing good nutritional habits can also reduce some risks.
