Obstetrics & Prenatal Care
Normal and high risk pregnancies
Pregnancy is one of the most important and exciting times in a woman’s life. Having the proper care and knowledge is essential to a successful term and delivery of your baby. Wollongong Obstetrics & Gynaecology provides specialised care in obstetrics and family planning, from conception and prenatal care through to delivery and postnatal care. Our experienced team are trained to support and help you every step of the way on this incredible journey.
Prenatal care is crucial to your baby’s healthy development. Regular visits with Dr Kothari are recommended, which will allow for professional monitoring of your baby’s health. Regular appointments can include checking the baby’s heart rate and performing ultrasounds to examine the baby’s development. Dr Kothari will also check your blood pressure, urine and weight gain to help keep your own health on track.
What are the common symptoms?
In addition to our general obstetrical services, we also provide care for high risk pregnancies. This includes women with pre-existing medical conditions, multiple births or abnormal pregnancies that carry an increased risk of complications.
Conditions that may increase the risk of complications during pregnancy or delivery include:
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Thyroid disorders
- Heart disease
- Cancer
Complications during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, premature birth and recurrent miscarriages will require more frequent visits with us.
Dr Kothari is dedicated to developing a trusting and supportive relationship with all his patients to ensure a safe and successful pregnancy and delivery.
