Pregnancy and Maternity Care Services in Jaipur

One of the most important decisions that you'll make during your pregnancy is choosing where you'll birth your baby. WHO recommends at least 8 antenatal contacts, whereas only 55% of all mothers from Rajasthan made 4 or more visits. When it comes to pregnancy most families in Jaipur, Rajasthan ask these questions: Who will watch the pregnant women, what if something goes wrong at night and will the baby be safe after birth? This guide about pregnancy and maternity care services in Jaipur addresses these questions and gives an insight into pregnancy care in Jaipur at Jaipur Vatika Hospital.

Why is Antenatal Care Important?

The World Health Organization recommends for at least eight contacts with a health provider during the pregnancy period from four previously WHO, Recommendations on Antenatal Care for a Positive Pregnancy Experience, 2016. The additional visits focus on the third trimester, when there is the greatest risk to the mother and baby.

The disconnect between advice and action remains great. While 95% of births were attended in a health facility, NFHS-5 Rajasthan report revealed that only 55% of mothers in Rajasthan had four or more visits during their pregnancy. To sum up, although the majority of women make it to hospital for delivery, not many of them are provided with regular care before that.

Regular checks identify problems like high blood pressure, anaemia and gestational diabetes at an early stage when they can be easily managed. That's the true reason for a good gynecologist in Jaipur; Prevention is a much more important thing than delivery.

What Are Pregnancy Care Services Inclusive of?

A full package of pregnancy care services is provided from the time the first positive test until the 6 week post-natal visit. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Jaipur Vatika Hospital deals with normal and high-risk pregnancies with prenatal care, labor and delivery and follow-up after the birth of the baby.

The general course of the journey is:

• First trimester: Confirmation scan, blood group, hemoglobin, thyroid and sugar tests, folic acid and a clear plan for visits.
• Second trimester: Anomaly scan at 18-20 weeks, growth checks and blood pressure.
• Third trimester: Increased visits, growth scans, fluid scans, birth planning and warning sign education.
• Labor and delivery: Continuous monitoring of mother and baby by trained personnel in the labour room.
• Postnatal: Wound and bleeding checks, breastfeeding support, newborn checks and family planning advice.

Most testing occurs all under one roof as JVH utilizes its own NABL accredited lab and 24/7 digital X-ray and ultrasound. Do not need to move from report to report within the city. Check our diagnostics and imaging services and pathology lab.

What Makes Maternity Services in Jaipur Safe?

When you choose a hospital, check three things: They are independently certified, they are able to deal with emergencies, and a newborn team is available. All three are required to provide safe maternity services in Jaipur.

Certification. JVH is an approved hospital by Manyata. Manyata is the quality program of FOGSI (the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India) and there are 16 clinical standards that must be adhered to for safe, respectful maternity care. The department's emphasis is on the two greatest threats to mother and baby that can be prevented: pre-eclampsia and postpartum hemorrhage.

Emergency readiness. Office hours are not a time for complications to arise. JVH is an Emergency and Trauma centre, with 24/7 support from ICU, and they have an ALS Ambulance. For families in Bagru, Dudu, Phagi and Thikariya, it's not an hour across town, but mere minutes on the Expressway.

Newborn support. The obstetrics team liaises closely with the Pediatrics and Neonatology unit, providing on-site assistance for babies born at high risk, and ensuring that babies are cared for immediately.

What is seen in practice: Early booking makes a difference. If a woman registers at the first trimester, she has a few weeks to correct her anemia or to control her blood pressure. If the woman arrives first at 36 weeks then she has few choices.
