Top 5 Signs You Should Invest In OBGYN Care

1. You have a high-risk pregnancy

If you are at a higher risk of having a baby with a health condition, it is important to know that an obstetrician or gynecologist can diagnose most diseases. This means there may be special requirements to manage your risk.

You should already be seeing an OB/GYN about your pregnant state. An OB/GYN will also perform a routine ultrasound around weeks 6-8 of your pregnancy to check for fetal abnormalities.

If you find out that you are at a higher risk, you should consider to see an OB/GYN specialist who works as part of your medical team. They can help diagnose any conditions you might have during your pregnancy.

You have a chronic health condition

If you have one of the common inherited genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis, you may want to consider starting care early. Patients being treated for these syndromes usually require specialized diets and frequent intravenous medication injections, procedures, and surgeries that can keep getting expensive.

It makes sense to start here if you’re trying to save money for other reasons.

You are in the age group considered risky

Risk factors include getting pregnant after 40 years old. Some diseases increase your risk more than others. We will talk more about specific diseases later.

For now, know that endometriosis increases your risk of cancer, including ovarian cancer. Pregnancy does, too, until we tell it not to.

2. You have a history of complications during pregnancies

A complication during pregnancy is when something goes wrong with your pregnancy, such as miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm birth (prenatal care), malformation, or fetal death. If you had any previous miscarriages, there’s a higher chance that you will experience them again. This is because miscarriage is often caused by genetic issues related to the baby.

If you had a termination, there’s a risk for mental health issues due to the regret people feel after choosing this option.

Complications may include high blood pressure, severe nausea and vomiting, fluid leakage from the vagina, sudden onset of diabetes, an increase in weight, chest pain, and heart problems such as murmur or angina.

3. You have had a previous abortion or miscarriage.

Although not all doctors agree that this is a positive sign, you can find support through some organizations.These groups assist women who have experienced an early termination of pregnancy. It also helps people learn how to be emotionally healthy after experiencing such a difficult time.

You are eligible for care if you’ve had an unintended pregnancy and decided to terminate it. This includes patients who choose to use medication, medical abortion, or surgery to end an unwanted pregnancy.

You might also qualify if you had a stillbirth or experienced chronic pain due to a prior birth control procedure.

Also, consider your current healthcare providers once they know you better. If they were nurses or nurse practitioners, they likely don’t need to check up on you very often.

However, if they are new physicians, ensuring they get heard should be one of your top priorities.

4. Your partner has a history of reproductive health problems.

Many women suffer from stress disorders such as anxiety and depression due to unwanted pregnancy or childbirth. These symptoms can negatively affect your overall health. As an obstetrician, my role was to help girls have normal pregnancies and care for patients suffering from severe complications from previous deliveries.

It is important to note that reports suggest that about 50% of Indian women suffers from some form of reproductive disorder in their life-including risk factors such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Due to the high prevalence of these disorders and maternal mortality rates, it is critical to managing them before becoming pregnant.

5. You are at an increased risk of developing certain conditions during your pregnancy

If you experience symptoms that keep you up at night or fear something might happen while pregnant, make an appointment with your doctor. They can perform tests and give you treatment to help reduce your stress about being pregnant.

Many women feel more relaxed about becoming pregnant after establishing a care plan and understanding their risks better. But don’t assume you only have normal pregnancies. There are often complications with prenatal testing and treatments that affect mother and child alike.

Consider what it is that makes you nervous or uncomfortable regarding this condition. Then work through any concerns with your doctor. Only then they know enough to assess how worried you should be and what actions (if any) need to be taken.
