Twin Pregnancy
A twin pregnancy occurs when two babies grow simultaneously in the womb. There are two main types:
- Dizygotic (Fraternal Twins): Two separate eggs are fertilized. Each baby has its own placenta and sac.
- Monozygotic (Identical Twins): One egg splits into two. Depending on the timing of the split, the twins may share a placenta or even an amniotic sac.
We will confirm the type of twin pregnancy during your early ultrasound scan, which helps guide your care plan.
Why Twin Pregnancies Need Special Attention?
While many twin pregnancies progress well, they are considered higher-risk due to:
- Increased risk of preterm labour
- Higher chances of gestational diabetes or preeclampsia
- Risk of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) in monochorionic twins
- Need for nutritional support and close foetal growth monitoring
We offer personalized, close monitoring throughout your pregnancy to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Twin Pregnancy Care at Our Clinic
Your care may include:
- More frequent antenatal checkups
- Regular growth scans and Doppler ultrasounds
- Nutrition and weight management
- Screening for anaemia, diabetes, and high blood pressure
- Counselling on birth planning and timing of delivery
- Preparation for vaginal or caesarean delivery, based on the babies’ position and your health
We also coordinate with NICU teams at our affiliated hospitals in case of preterm birth or special neonatal needs.
Your Support System Matters
We understand that twin pregnancies can be emotionally and physically demanding. Our team provides:
- Personalized counselling
- Support for mental health and emotional well-being
- Postnatal follow-up for breastfeeding support and recovery
Planning a Safe Delivery
Most twins are delivered between 36–38 weeks, depending on your and your babies’ health. Delivery may be vaginal or caesarean — our team will guide you with the safest, evidence-based plan.
Placenta Previa Care
Expert Monitoring for a Safe Pregnancy
Placenta previa is a condition where the placenta lies low in the uterus and partially or completely covers the cervix (the opening to the birth canal). It can pose risks during pregnancy and delivery, but with timely diagnosis and expert care, most women go on to have safe pregnancies and healthy babies.
What Is Placenta Previa?
In a normal pregnancy, the placenta attaches higher up in the uterus. In placenta previa, the placenta sits lower down, near or over the cervix.
There are different types of placenta previa:
- Complete previa – Placenta fully covers the cervix
- Partial previa – Placenta partially covers the cervix
- Marginal previa – Placenta lies close to, but does not cover, the cervix
- Low-lying placenta – Placenta is in the lower part of the uterus, near the cervix
This condition is usually diagnosed during a routine ultrasound in the second trimester and often requires careful follow-up.
What Are the Risks?
Placenta previa can cause:
- Painless vaginal bleeding, especially in the second or third trimester
- Preterm labour or delivery
- Complications during vaginal delivery
- Increased risk of caesarean section
In many cases, the placenta moves upward naturally as the uterus grows. That’s why regular monitoring is so important.

How We Manage Placenta Previa?
We follow evidence-based guidelines to manage placenta previa depending on the severity and stage of pregnancy.
Our care includes:
- Frequent ultrasounds to monitor placental position
- Advising reduced physical activity or pelvic rest (in some cases)
- Monitoring for bleeding or contractions
- Planning timely delivery, usually by C-section if the placenta still covers the cervix at term
- Coordinating with hospital teams in case of emergency care or early delivery
Your Safety Is Our Priority
We will guide you throughout your pregnancy, help manage symptoms, and create a personalized delivery plan to keep you and your baby safe.
If bleeding occurs, we ensure immediate hospital-based care in collaboration with our affiliated hospitals, equipped with 24/7 emergency support and NICU facilities.
IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction) Care
Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) means that a baby is not growing as expected inside the womb. It can be due to various reasons and requires careful monitoring and management to ensure a safe pregnancy and delivery.
What Is IUGR?
IUGR is diagnosed when the baby’s estimated weight is below the 10th percentile for gestational age. This means the baby is smaller than expected and may be at risk of complications before or after birth.
There are two main types:
- Symmetrical IUGR – Baby is proportionally small (usually due to early pregnancy issues)
- Asymmetrical IUGR – Baby’s head grows normally, but the body is smaller (more common, often due to placental issues later in pregnancy)
Why IUGR Needs Special Attention?
Babies with IUGR may face:
- Low birth weight
- Reduced oxygen supply
- Increased risk of stillbirth
- Preterm delivery
- Problems with temperature control, blood sugar, or immunity after birth
That’s why early diagnosis and careful monitoring are essential.
How We Manage IUGR?
Our goal is to support foetal growth and ensure timely and safe delivery.
Diagnostic & Monitoring Tools:
- Ultrasound to measure growth parameters and amniotic fluid
- Doppler studies to assess blood flow in placenta and baby
- NST (Non-Stress Test) and Biophysical Profile (BPP) for foetal well-being
- Regular maternal checkups for blood pressure, weight gain, and symptoms
Management Plan Includes:
- Management Plan Includes:
- Supplements to improve placental function (if needed)
- Monitoring for preeclampsia, anaemia, or infections
- Hospital admission if necessary for close observation
- Planning early delivery if baby stops growing or shows signs of distress
Most IUGR babies are delivered between 37–38 weeks, but in some cases, earlier delivery may be needed — especially if the baby’s health is at risk.
We are affiliated with well-equipped hospitals with NICU support, so your baby gets the best care if born early or with low birth weight.
