High-Risk Pregnancy Care in Raebareli
A high-risk pregnancy is one where the mother, baby, or both have a higher chance of health problems, and therefore need closer monitoring. At Mithila Women's Hospital in Raebareli, Dr. Shilpi Singh provides specialist care for high-risk pregnancies, including extra check-ups and individualised planning to support a safe outcome. Many women with risk factors go on to have healthy babies with the right care.
What is a high-risk pregnancy?
A pregnancy may be considered high-risk because of factors present before pregnancy or those that develop along the way. Common reasons include high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia, gestational or pre-existing diabetes, thyroid disease, anaemia, carrying twins or more, age over 35 or under 18, previous pregnancy complications, previous caesarean section, or certain ongoing medical conditions. Being labelled high-risk does not mean something will go wrong; it means your pregnancy benefits from more careful monitoring so that any issue can be managed early.
When should you see a doctor?
If you have a known medical condition, a history of pregnancy complications, or are planning a pregnancy at an older age, it is wise to seek advice early — ideally before conceiving or as soon as you are pregnant. During pregnancy, seek prompt care for warning signs such as severe headache, vision changes, marked swelling, severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, reduced baby movements, or signs of preterm labour. Early assessment allows timely treatment and the best chance of a safe pregnancy.
Our approach at Mithila Women's Hospital
Dr. Shilpi Singh has particular experience in high-risk pregnancy and delivery care. Our approach combines more frequent visits, additional scans and tests where needed, and a clear plan tailored to your specific risk factors.

Throughout, we explain what is happening and why, so you feel informed and reassured rather than anxious. Where specialised facilities are required, we guide and coordinate appropriate referral.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a high-risk pregnancy mean my baby is in danger?
Not necessarily. It means your pregnancy needs closer monitoring. With appropriate care, many women with risk factors have safe pregnancies and healthy babies.
Can I still have a normal delivery if my pregnancy is high-risk?
Often, yes — it depends on your specific situation. Your doctor will assess your condition near term and discuss the safest delivery option for you and your baby.
What extra monitoring is involved?
This varies by case but may include more frequent visits, additional ultrasound scans, blood pressure and blood sugar checks, and tests to assess the baby's wellbeing.
