IVF: High Risk Pregnancy and Expert Care at Manipal
By Dr. Shaheen Akhtar, Consultant – Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Manipal Hospital, Mysuru
Pregnancy is a remarkable journey, often filled with joy, anticipation and sometimes, uncertainty, particularly in the case of medically assisted pregnancies. At Manipal Hospital, Mysuru, patients facing such adversity find hope through expert care and advanced medical interventions. One such case was that of Prerana (name changed), a 37-year-old woman who conceived through IVF after facing two ectopic pregnancies and multiple surgeries.
Prerana’s pregnancy, however, was complicated by several serious conditions, which required meticulous planning and expert care. Her journey began when she conceived through IVF in Bengaluru, after years of trying to become a mother. She followed up at Manipal Hospital, Mysuru, at 10 weeks of pregnancy.
However, by 20 weeks, she was referred to Dr. Shaheen Akhtar, Consultant – Obstetrics and Gynaecology, at Manipal Hospital, Mysuru, with an anomaly scan revealing placenta previa (a condition where the placenta covers the cervix, creating potential risks for both mother and baby).
