Obstetrics & maternity care at Sangita

A comprehensive range, under one roof.

Antenatal care

Good antenatal care ensures that pregnancy causes no damage to the mother and keeps the foetus healthy throughout the pregnancy period. It is one of the most effective ways to prevent pregnancy complications. Good prenatal care includes good nutrition and health habits before and during pregnancy. A minimum of 8 ANC visits are recommended by WHO when you are expecting. We plan the most comprehensive antenatal care package as per patient requirements.
Normal delivery

Normal delivery is a process when a baby is born naturally without the use of any medical intervention. It is also known as a vaginal birth. The vaginal birth process helps in having a healthy baby and a quick recovery. There are three stages: early labour, delivering the baby, and delivery of the placenta. Ensuring that pregnancy completes full term and the patient delivers a healthy baby is the aim of Sangita.
High-risk pregnancy

In a high-risk pregnancy, both the mother and the baby are at higher risk of experiencing health problems. High-risk pregnancies can feel like high-stress pregnancies. It often requires specialised care from specially trained providers. We have all the requisite skills and are more watchful than usual when your pregnancy is at risk.
Painless delivery

Painless delivery is normal delivery without experiencing any pain during labour. The epidural anaesthesia used in this procedure helps mothers relieve the normal delivery pain. It is injected in the lower back, and a plastic tube is placed through which drugs are released around the spinal cord. It doesn't always provide 100% pain relief, but it substantially reduces pain and sensations in the lower half of the body. We recommend it for a smooth and beautiful experience while in labour and have performed many successful painless deliveries.
C-section

A caesarean delivery, also called a C-section, is a surgical procedure performed when a vaginal delivery is not possible or safe. Normally a C-section is done after 39 weeks; however it can be planned beforehand. We have gynaecologists specialised in caesarean deliveries and a record of numerous successful deliveries.
Antenatal exercises

Antenatal exercises are aimed to improve the physical and psychological well-being of an expectant mother for labour by various physical means. This helps the mother during the entire pregnancy and also helps to recover faster and better, and get back in shape after the delivery. These exercises help in reducing backaches, constipation, bloating and swelling, and improve energy levels. We designed the best antenatal exercise package catering to the needs of each trimester.
