FAQs
How should I choose an obstretician?
Your obstetrician will play an important role during your pregnancy, helping you make healthy choices and taking you right through labor and delivery. Ideally, you want to make sure the obstetrician you choose is someone with whom you feel comfortable. You can get to know a doctor by scheduling a consultation prior to your first exam. Ask lots of questions and discuss your concerns during the consultation to make sure you feel at ease.
Ask if the doctor has experience in high-risk pregnancies and deliveries, especially if you have preexisting conditions like diabetes that increase your risks for complications.
Be sure the doctor you choose has access to the most advanced, state-of-the-art testing techniques to help identify potential problems early in your pregnancy so they can be treated and addressed.
What should I expect during a prenatal visit?
Typically, in early pregnancy, you’ll meet with Dr. Ruchita about once a month for routine checkups. She will track your weight gain, monitor your blood pressure, urine, and other vitals, listen for the baby, measure the uterus, and give you an overall assessment of how your body and your baby are doing. Routine testing and lab work will also be conducted during certain appointments.

What can I do to help ensure I have a healthy pregnancy and delivery?
As with any pregnancy, eating a healthy diet and getting enough exercise are important in ensuring both you and your baby stay healthy. Depending on your condition, Dr. Ruchita can provide guidance regarding diet and exercise choices. She may also advise taking supplements like folic acid. Of course, you should not smoke or drink alcohol while pregnant, and you should always be sure to keep all your doctor appointments so you and your baby can be properly monitored.
What is immunization?
Vaccination plays an important role for the health of mother and the baby. There is a benefit for women to be immunized to reduce their chances of morbidity and mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases. Before administering a vaccine to a pregnant woman, the prenatal health care provider must know the immunogenic material in the vaccine.
High Risk Pregnancy Management
What is a high-risk pregnancy?
High-risk pregnancies include pregnancies where the mother has a health condition prior to pregnancy, such as cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure, and those who develop health problems during pregnancy. It also includes women who smoke, who have had miscarriages or who have had problems in previous pregnancies. Mothers who are carrying multiple babies are also considered to be at high risk, as are those who may have specific physical conditions such as problems with the placenta or uterus. Older mothers and mothers who are very overweight may also be considered to be high-risk since there is an increased chance of birth defects and pregnancy issues.
How will my care differ if I have a high-risk pregnancy?
You care will vary based on your condition, your health and the risks you and your baby may face. In general, Dr. Ruchita will see you a bit more frequently and may order tests or monitoring throughout the pregnancy to make sure you and your baby are healthy.
Will I have to have a cesarean section?
No, a high-risk pregnancy does not mean you will not be able to have a vaginal delivery. Delivery options will be based on your health and your baby's health when your due time rolls around.

- Medical disorders during pregnancy
- Pregnancy induced hypertension
