Expert Pregnancy Care at Dhaara Speciality Hospital
Pregnancy is one of the most important journeys of a woman's life. At Dhaara Speciality Hospital, Yelahanka, we provide comprehensive antenatal (pregnancy) care that combines the warmth of personalised attention with the safety of modern obstetric medicine. Our senior obstetrician, Dr. Prathima Srinivas, brings years of experience in managing normal and high-risk pregnancies to ensure that both mother and baby remain safe and healthy from the first trimester to delivery and beyond.
Our Antenatal Care Programme
Our pregnancy care programme is structured around evidence-based protocols aligned with Indian Medical Association and WHO guidelines:
First Trimester (Weeks 1–13)
- Confirmation of pregnancy and calculation of expected delivery date (EDD)
- Baseline blood tests: blood group, haemoglobin, blood sugar, thyroid, HIV, hepatitis B & C, VDRL
- Dating ultrasound (NT scan) at 11–14 weeks to confirm gestational age and screen for chromosomal abnormalities

- Counselling on nutrition, physical activity, warning signs and medications to avoid
- Management of morning sickness, fatigue and other first-trimester symptoms
Second Trimester (Weeks 14–27)

- Glucose challenge test for gestational diabetes (at 24–28 weeks)

Many women can, depending on the reason for the first caesarean, the type of uterine incision and this pregnancy's course. Dr. Prathima Srinivas assesses and supports VBAC in appropriate candidates with full emergency backup.
Maternal age over 35, diabetes or hypertension, thyroid disorders, previous pregnancy losses or preterm birth, twins, bleeding, or baby's growth concerns. High-risk does not mean hopeless — it means closer monitoring, which is exactly what we provide.
