Gestational Diabetes: The Most Common High-Risk Condition in Pune
Gestational diabetes (GDM) affects 16 to 18 percent of pregnancies in India according to ICMR data, making it the most common high-risk pregnancy complication. Pune’s urban diet, high carbohydrate intake and sedentary lifestyle among the IT workforce increase GDM risk significantly.
Management includes dietary modifications with a registered dietitian, home blood glucose monitoring (glucometer cost INR 800 to INR 2,000), and insulin therapy if diet alone is insufficient. Well-controlled GDM allows most women to deliver vaginally and their babies to have normal birth weights.
High-Risk Pregnancy After IVF in PCMC
Women who conceive through IVF are automatically classified as higher-risk for the first trimester. Multiple pregnancies resulting from IVF (twins or triplets) carry additional risks of preterm labour, growth restriction and pre-eclampsia. La Femme Fertility Clinic provides close monitoring from the day of positive pregnancy test through the first trimester, then coordinates with the hospital team for ongoing care.
