High-Risk Pregnancy
Specialist Care For Complex Cases
What Is a High-Risk Pregnancy?
A high-risk pregnancy is one in which the mother, the baby, or both face an elevated risk of complications compared to a routine pregnancy. High-risk status may arise from pre-existing maternal medical conditions, conditions that develop specifically in pregnancy, features of the pregnancy itself, or the mother’s age or reproductive history.
Dr. S. Krishnakumar has managed high-risk obstetric cases throughout his forty-year career. With 3,50,000 deliveries behind him, he has managed virtually every variety of obstetric complication successfully. For patients with complex medical histories, his clinical experience and systematic decision-making are precisely what is needed.
Conditions Managed
Gestational Diabetes (GDM)
Affecting 10-15% of Indian pregnancies, GDM requires expert management. We provide comprehensive dietary counselling, glucose monitoring, and close fetal growth tracking to ensure a safe delivery.
Hypertension & Pre-Eclampsia
A multi-system disorder characterized by high blood pressure. Early identification and expert delivery management are the cornerstones of the specialized care Dr. Krishnakumar provides.
Placenta Praevia & Accreta
These are among the most dangerous obstetric complications, involving placenta positioning or invasion. Dr. Krishnakumar has extensive experience managing these complex cases surgically.
Multiple Pregnancy
Twin and triplet pregnancies carry elevated risks of preterm birth. Multiple pregnancies arising from IVF are a particular area of expertise here, requiring highly coordinated care.
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Recurrent pregnancy loss—defined as two or more consecutive losses—is a devastating experience. Through thorough investigation of both partners, including hysteroscopy and genetic testing, we develop targeted treatment plans to address the specific diagnosis.
Thyroid Disorders
Thyroid function has a profound influence on outcomes. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are associated with increased risks. Dr. Krishnakumar screens thyroid function routinely at the first visit and monitors it throughout for all women.
Pregnancies with Complex Medical Conditions
Pregnancies complicated by cardiac disease, renal disease, autoimmune conditions (lupus, APS), haematological disorders, and neurological conditions require specialist obstetric management in close collaboration with medical subspecialists.
Dr. Krishnakumar has extensive experience coordinating complex multi-specialty care. His long-standing relationships with medical specialists ensure that patients receive seamlessly coordinated care during these high-stakes journeys.
