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
Folic acid and iron supplementation
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)

Anomaly scan (level 2 ultrasound) at 18–20 weeks — a detailed structural survey of the baby
Maternal serum screening / quadruple test for chromosomal abnormalities if recommended
Glucose challenge test for gestational diabetes (at 24–28 weeks)
Blood pressure and weight monitoring at every visit
Fetal growth assessment and liquor (amniotic fluid) evaluation
Tetanus toxoid vaccination

Third Trimester (Weeks 28–40)

Fortnightly and then weekly visits
Growth scan at 32–34 weeks to assess fetal growth and position
Non-stress test (NST) and biophysical profile for fetal well-being monitoring

Our experienced team actively promotes and supports normal (vaginal) delivery for eligible mothers. We have skilled nurses and senior obstetricians available 24/7 in our labour ward to guide you through active labour and delivery safely.

Caesarean Section (C-Section)

When required for medical reasons — fetal distress, placenta previa, previous uterine surgery or failure of normal labour to progress — Dr. Prathima Srinivas performs C-sections with optimal technique and meticulous care for both mother and baby.

Assisted Delivery

Vacuum-assisted or forceps delivery may be offered in specific situations to safely expedite delivery when the baby is in the birth canal but progress has slowed.

Post-Natal Care

Our care extends beyond delivery — breastfeeding support, newborn assessment, neonatal care, post-operative wound care for C-section mothers and emotional support during the post-natal period.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pregnancy Care

When should I see a doctor after a positive pregnancy test?

Ideally within the first 6–8 weeks of pregnancy (or as soon as you confirm a positive test). Early booking allows important screening tests to be done at the right time and helps identify any risks early.

How many antenatal visits will I need?

For a normal pregnancy, we recommend monthly visits up to 28 weeks, fortnightly visits from 28–36 weeks, and weekly visits from 36 weeks to delivery. Women with high-risk pregnancies may need more frequent visits.

Is normal delivery possible after a previous C-section?

Yes, in many cases VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean) is possible and safe. Dr. Prathima Srinivas will assess your eligibility based on the reason for the previous C-section, uterine scar type and current pregnancy status.

Does Dhaara Hospital have a NICU?

Yes. We have a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) staffed 24/7 by trained paediatric nurses and accessible to our paediatricians to manage premature babies or newborns requiring special care.
