Comprehensive Pregnancy Care
A preconception assessment can help optimize health, identify risk factors, and provide guidance on lifestyle, nutrition, and prenatal vitamins for the best possible start to pregnancy.
The first trimester brings significant changes. Support is available for pregnancy confirmation, managing symptoms, and early assessments to ensure a smooth start.
Genetic screening can help identify inherited conditions that may affect a baby. Guidance is available to help couples understand their options, interpret results, and make informed decisions.
Pregnancy after IVF comes with unique considerations. Tailored care and monitoring ensure ongoing support throughout the journey.
Pregnancy loss can be both physically and emotionally difficult. Sensitive and expert care is available for miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and recurrent losses, with options for medical management and emotional support.
Severe nausea and vomiting can make early pregnancy extremely challenging. Individualized treatment and hydration support help manage symptoms and maintain well-being.
For those at risk of preterm birth due to a short or weakened cervix, cervical cerclage and tailored monitoring can help improve pregnancy outcomes.
Some pregnancies require closer monitoring due to conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or previous complications. Individualized care and collaboration with other specialists ensure the safest possible outcome.
Carrying twins or higher-order multiples comes with added complexities. Specialized monitoring and care plans help support a healthy pregnancy and birth.
Monitoring fetal growth is key to ensuring a healthy pregnancy. Expert assessment and management are available for babies measuring smaller or larger than expected.
Every birth experience is unique. Whether planning a natural birth, induction, or caesarean, care is tailored to align with personal preferences while ensuring safety.
For those considering a vaginal birth in these circumstances, supportive counselling, risk assessment, and individualized care help ensure a safe and informed experience.
Maternally Assisted Caesarean allows mothers to actively participate in delivering their baby during a C-section, fostering immediate bonding. Guidance is available to ensure a safe and meaningful experience.
Breastfeeding can be challenging. Support is available for common issues such as latch difficulties, low milk supply, mastitis, and pain.
Care continues beyond birth, with monitoring for physical recovery, complications such as postpartum haemorrhage, and emotional well-being during the transition to motherhood.
Birth can impact the pelvic floor and perineal area, sometimes leading to discomfort or incontinence. Guidance, treatment options, and referrals to pelvic health specialists help support recovery.
Every pregnancy journey is unique, and Dr. Gaya understands that each experience comes with individual needs and questions. While this timeline provides a general guide to what patients can expect, care is always tailored to suit specific circumstances. Dr. Gaya is committed to making the pregnancy experience as smooth and positive as possible while always prioritizing the health and well-being of both mother and baby.
