High-Risk Pregnancy Care
A high-risk pregnancy needs closer monitoring and specialised care to protect the health of both mother and baby. Dr. Rabeya Sultana provides comprehensive fetomaternal management for pregnancies complicated by pre-existing conditions, prior complications, or issues that develop during pregnancy.

- Pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes in the current pregnancy
- Advanced maternal age or pregnancy after fertility treatment
Diagnosis & Monitoring
Care includes regular clinical checkups, blood pressure and blood sugar monitoring, growth-scan ultrasounds, and targeted lab investigations to track maternal and fetal wellbeing throughout pregnancy.
Treatment & Management

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a high-risk pregnancy always mean complications during delivery?
No, with proper monitoring and timely management, most high-risk pregnancies result in a healthy delivery.
How often will I need checkups?
Visit frequency depends on the specific risk factors, but is generally more frequent than a standard pregnancy schedule.
Will I need a caesarean delivery?
Not necessarily — the mode of delivery is decided based on individual maternal and fetal factors closer to term.
