Prenatal Diagnosis and Pregnancy Care at CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Andheri East, Mumbai
CritiCare Asia Hospitals, a maternity hospital in Mumbai, offers expecting mothers organised, well-timed care through pregnancy. Each stage has its own checks, and knowing the schedule in advance removes much of the uncertainty. Prenatal care covers the screenings, scans and visits that follow maternal and foetal health from the earliest weeks to delivery. We provide prenatal diagnosis and pregnancy care in Andheri East, Mumbai, with obstetric monitoring and diagnostic screening placed under one plan and appointments scheduled to fit around your workday.
Symptoms That Need Early Review
Prompt attention is advised if any of these appear:
- Vaginal bleeding or fluid leakage
- Severe or continuing abdominal pain
- A noticeable reduction in foetal movements
- Intense headache with visual disturbance, or sudden swelling of the face and hands
- Persistent fever or vomiting
Why Early Registration Matters
Booking the first visit once pregnancy is confirmed, ideally within eight weeks, lays the foundation for later care. The visit sets baseline health parameters, confirms viability and gestational age, and flags pre-existing conditions. Late registration can mean missing first-trimester screenings that cannot be meaningfully repeated. Our antenatal care in Andheri East, Mumbai begins here, and the first consultation and baseline tests can often be completed in one visit.
Prenatal Diagnostic Tests
Foetal screening tests assess health at different stages:
- NT (nuchal translucency) scan
an early ultrasound, usually between 11 and 14 weeks, screening for chromosomal conditions - Anomaly scan
a detailed mid-pregnancy ultrasound, around 18 to 20 weeks, reviewing foetal organ development - NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing)
blood-based chromosomal screening where risk factors or maternal age warrant it - Amniocentesis
a diagnostic test using an amniotic fluid sample, reserved for definitive confirmation
The tests chosen depend on maternal age, family history and earlier findings, and not every pregnancy requires all of them.
Trimester-Wise Overview of Check-Ups
- First trimester (up to 13 weeks)
confirming viability, dating, baseline blood work and early chromosomal risk screening - Second trimester (14 to 27 weeks)
anatomical assessment, growth tracking and gestational diabetes screening - Third trimester (28 weeks onward)
frequent checks of foetal position, growth and wellbeing, with labour preparation
Visit frequency rises toward the due date, moving from monthly to fortnightly, then weekly. Dates are fixed ahead, so working mothers can plan around them.
High-Risk Pregnancy Monitoring
Early identification changes how the remaining pregnancy is managed. We provide high-risk pregnancy care in Andheri East, Mumbai for:
- Gestational diabetes
regular blood sugar monitoring and diet adjustment, usually flagged by screening at about 24 to 28 weeks - Hypertension, existing or pregnancy-induced
frequent blood pressure checks and urine tests - Multiple pregnancies
more frequent scans to track each baby's growth - Advanced maternal age, generally 35 and above
additional screening and closer tracking
Nutrition and Lifestyle Guidance
Guidance is tailored to each trimester. Folic acid before conception and in early pregnancy reduces the risk of neural tube defects. Iron and calcium needs increase as pregnancy progresses. Moderate activity, adequate hydration and avoidance of raw seafood, unpasteurised dairy, alcohol and tobacco form the standard advice, adjusted where medical conditions require.
Our Approach to Delivery Planning and Postnatal Care
As the third trimester advances, preparation focuses on early signs of labour, when to reach the hospital, pain management options and what delivery involves. Birth planning conversations cover preferences and contingencies in the final weeks. A postnatal check, usually within six weeks, assesses recovery, addresses complications and covers newborn care and contraception. Follow-up dates are arranged in advance.
