High Risk Pregnancy and Delivery Care in Mohali
What makes a pregnancy "high risk"?
Not every high risk label means something is wrong right now. It means your pregnancy needs closer watching because one or more factors raise the chance of a complication. Common reasons a pregnancy gets flagged as high risk:
- Maternal age under 18 or over 35
- High blood pressure or pre-eclampsia
- Gestational diabetes or pre-existing diabetes
- Twin or multiple pregnancy
- Previous C-section, miscarriage, or preterm delivery
- Low-lying placenta or placental abnormalities
- Thyroid disorders or other chronic conditions
- Low amniotic fluid or fetal growth restriction
- History of infertility treatment leading to this pregnancy
If any of these apply to you, it does not mean delivery has to be difficult. It means the monitoring schedule gets tighter and the delivery plan gets built around your specific risk, not a generic timeline.
What happens on the day of a high risk delivery
- Continuous monitoring of the baby’s heartbeat and the mother’s vitals through labor
- A pre-agreed plan for when to switch from normal delivery to C-section if needed, so the decision is medical, not reactive
- The pediatric team present or on immediate standby if the baby is expected to need extra care
- Immediate newborn assessment: breathing, heart rate, temperature and reflexes checked right after birth
- NICU-level care coordinated without delay if the baby needs phototherapy, warmer support, or closer observation
How Medisyn manages a high risk pregnancy
More frequent monitoring:
Instead of the standard once-a-month or once-every-two-weeks schedule, high risk pregnancies are seen more often, with blood pressure checks, urine protein tests, and growth scans timed to catch problems early rather than at the next routine visit.
Obstetric and neonatal teams working together from the start
This is where Medisyn’s setup is different from a standalone maternity clinic. Dr. Balvin Kaur Ghai manages the pregnancy and delivery, while Dr. Amit Nagpal, who has spent over two decades in neonatal and pediatric intensive care including fellowship training in pediatric cardiac intensive care from Medanta, is involved in the delivery plan in advance if the baby is expected to need extra support at birth. You are not meeting the pediatrician for the first time in the delivery room.
A clear delivery plan, not a wait-and-see approach.
For high risk cases, the mode of delivery (normal or C-section), the ideal week to deliver, and the precautions needed on the day are discussed and finalized well before the due date, so there are no last-minute decisions made under pressure.
Immediate newborn care on standby.
Babies born from high risk pregnancies, especially preterm babies or those with growth restriction, often need immediate assessment after birth. Having a neonatologist as part of the same care team, rather than an on-call doctor from outside, means that assessment happens without delay.

Best Doctors for high risk deliveries
Dr. Amit Nagpal is the Senior Consultant Pediatrician and Neonatologist at Medisyn Centre, Mohali, with over two decades of experience in newborn and pediatric intensive care, including fellowship training in pediatric cardiac intensive care from Medanta. He is vastly experienced in managing newborns from high risk deliveries, including preterm babies, low birth weight babies, and babies needing immediate assessment or NICU-level support right after birth. Newborn care in high risk deliveries is coordinated directly by Dr. Amit Nagpal as part of the same clinical team managing the pregnancy, so the pediatric team is already familiar with the case before delivery rather than being brought in afterward. The level of newborn monitoring required depends on the individual case, whether it is a routine precaution or a baby needing closer observation from birth.

Told in Their Own Words.
I was searching for a good gynaecologist, and when I met Dr. Balvin Kaur Ghai, I was really happy. She’s an excellent OB/GYN. She’s kind, and her behavior is really nice. She made me feel comfortable. Because of Dr. Balvin, my pregnancy journey went smoothly. She even shared her number with me in case I had any doubts or concerns during my pregnancy. My labor and Normal delivery also went well under Dr. Balvin’s guidance.Post-delivery is going well too. Overall, I’m really happy that Dr. Balvin is my doctor. Thank you ma’am.

Im short of words to express my gratitude to dr. Balvin. The way she handled my pregnancy n delivery it’s remarkable. 🎈She is a pertect blend of good human being and a doctor. Most humble and polite and of course most capable which always keeps her patients at ease. She is 💎 Gem.

Common questions patients ask
We’re always here to answer your questions – and that starts now.
Does a high risk label mean I will need a C-section?
At what week should a high risk pregnancy deliver?
What if my baby is born early or needs extra care?
Can I still have a high risk pregnancy managed at a clinic instead of only a large hospital?
Yes, as long as the clinic has a clear referral and coordination pathway with hospital-level facilities for delivery and NICU support when needed. Medisyn’s obstetric and pediatric care is coordinated this way, with delivery and newborn care handled without gaps between teams.
What are the warning signs I should never ignore during a high risk pregnancy?
Severe headache, blurred vision, sudden swelling, reduced fetal movement, vaginal bleeding, or persistent abdominal pain. Call your doctor immediately if any of these occur, do not wait for your next scheduled visit.
