Pre Pregnancy Counselling

Start your Journey the Right Way

Many women think about pregnancy care only after they see a positive test. But the healthiest pregnancies often begin even before conception. That is where pre-pregnancy counselling with Dr. N.S. Saradha makes a real difference.

Pre-pregnancy counselling is a one-on-one consultation where Dr. Saradha reviews your overall health, medical history, and lifestyle to help your body get ready for a healthy pregnancy. This step is especially helpful for women with conditions like thyroid disorders, diabetes, PCOS, or a history of miscarriage.

During this consultation, Dr. Saradha will:

  • Review your current health and any ongoing medical conditions
  • Suggest blood tests and health screenings to check your baseline
  • Guide you on nutrition, folic acid, and lifestyle adjustments
  • Discuss your family medical history and any genetic concerns
  • Help you understand the right time to try for a baby

Dr. Saradha is widely recognised for providing the best obstetrics care in Chennai — and pre-pregnancy counselling is a perfect example of that commitment in action.

This simple step can prevent many complications and give you the best possible start. It is one of the most meaningful things you can do for yourself and your baby before pregnancy even begins.

Antenatal Care

Caring for you and your Baby, Month by Month

Antenatal care the medical care you receive during pregnancy is the foundation of a healthy delivery. As a trusted obstetrics doctor in Chennai, Dr. N.S. Saradha offers structured, thorough antenatal checkups at every stage of your pregnancy.

From the moment your pregnancy is confirmed, Dr. Saradha schedules regular visits to track how both you and your baby are growing. Each visit is an opportunity to catch any early warning signs, adjust your care if needed, and answer every question you may have.

During your antenatal visits, you can expect:

  • Regular weight checks, blood pressure monitoring, and urine tests
  • Blood tests to screen for anaemia, infections, and gestational diabetes
  • Ultrasound scans to track your baby's growth and position
  • Guidance on diet, exercise, and safe medicines during pregnancy
  • Emotional support and answers to your day-to-day pregnancy questions

Dr. Saradha believes that every pregnant woman deserves clear, honest information about what is happening in her body. She explains each step in simple language, so there are no confusing terms or unnecessary worry.

Good antenatal care is not just about monitoring it is about building a relationship of trust between you and your doctor, so that when your delivery day arrives, you feel confident and prepared.

High Risk Pregnancy

Some pregnancies need a little extra attention and that is completely okay. A high risk pregnancy simply means there are certain health factors that need closer monitoring for the safety of both mother and baby.

Dr. N.S. Saradha has experience managing a wide range of high risk conditions. Women who come to her with complex situations receive thorough, personalised care throughout their pregnancy.

Conditions that may require high risk pregnancy management include:

  • Gestational diabetes or pre existing diabetes
  • High blood pressure or preeclampsia
  • Twin or multiple pregnancies
  • Thyroid disorders during pregnancy
  • Previous caesarean sections or pregnancy losses
  • Pregnancies in women over 35 years of age
  • Low-lying placenta (placenta previa)

Being labelled a high risk pregnancy does not mean a difficult outcome. With the right monitoring and timely decisions, most women with high risk pregnancies go on to have healthy babies.

Dr. Saradha works closely with each patient, scheduling more frequent visits when needed, ordering appropriate tests, and making well informed decisions at each stage. For women seeking the best obstetrics care in Chennai, her approach is calm, careful, and focused entirely on your wellbeing.

Obstetrics

Normal and Painless Delivery

Every woman deserves a safe and positive birth experience. Dr. N.S. Saradha is committed to supporting normal delivery wherever it is medically possible and to making that experience as comfortable as it can be.

For women who are concerned about labour pain, painless delivery through epidural analgesia is available. An epidural is a safe and widely used pain relief method that significantly reduces discomfort during labour, allowing you to stay awake, aware, and present during your baby's birth.

Benefits of choosing painless delivery include:

  • Significant reduction in labour pain without affecting your ability to push
  • You remain fully conscious and can experience the birth of your baby
  • The process is safe when administered and monitored properly
  • Particularly helpful for women with prolonged or difficult labour

Dr. Saradha discusses your birth preferences with you well in advance. She walks you through what to expect during labour, what pain relief options are available, and what happens in the delivery room so there are no surprises on the day.

As a trusted name in obstetrics care in Chennai, her goal is always to support a healthy outcome for both mother and baby, while honouring your birth experience.

Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC)

A Second Chance at Natural Birth

If you have had a previous caesarean section and are pregnant again, you may have been told that you must have another C section. But that is not always the case. Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC) is a safe option for many women when the conditions are right.

Dr. N.S. Saradha carefully evaluates each woman's situation to assess whether VBAC is a suitable and safe choice. This involves reviewing the reason for the previous caesarean, the type of uterine incision, the current baby's position and size, and your overall health.

Women who are good candidates for VBAC can benefit from:

  • A faster recovery compared to a repeat caesarean
  • Reduced risk of surgical complications
  • The experience of a natural birth
  • Shorter hospital stay

VBAC requires careful planning and close monitoring during labour. Dr. Saradha ensures that every necessary precaution is in place, and that you are fully informed about both the benefits and the things to watch out for during labour.

If you have had a C section before and would like to explore your options for your next birth, Dr. Saradha is the right person to speak to. She will give you an honest, balanced view based entirely on your individual situation.

Postnatal Care

Looking after you after your Baby Arrives

The weeks after delivery are just as important as the pregnancy itself. Your body has gone through a great deal, and it needs the right care and attention to recover well. This is the period known as postnatal care, and it is an area where Dr. N.S. Saradha gives thoughtful, personal attention to each patient.

Postnatal visits with Dr. Saradha focus on both your physical recovery and your emotional wellbeing. Many new mothers feel the pressure to be fine immediately after birth, but in reality, recovery takes time and asking for help is always the right thing to do.

During postnatal care, Dr. Saradha addresses:

  • Wound healing for both normal delivery and caesarean cases
  • Monitoring for postnatal complications such as infection or bleeding
  • Guidance on breastfeeding and newborn care
  • Checking for signs of postpartum depression or emotional distress
  • Advice on contraception and birth spacing after delivery
  • Returning to normal activity safely and at the right pace

The postnatal period is also a time when women sometimes feel unsure, tired, or overwhelmed. Dr. Saradha ensures you never feel alone in this. She is approachable, patient, and always willing to answer your questions no matter how small they may seem.
