Yes, IVF babies are normal. Genetic disorders and congenital abnormalities occur in 2-5% of all live births in general population, which is the same even in IVF pregnancies

Patient is advised to stay away from vigorous/intense exercises during stimulation and after the embryo transfer until the pregnancy test is done

Do I have to take leave from work during and after the procedure?

 

You are advised to take leave on the day of egg retrieval as you are subjected to anaesthesia for few minutes. You may have the effect of anaesthetic drugs for a 1-2hrs before discharge. You will be under observation until then. So half day leave at least is advised

Do I have to take complete bed rest after the procedure?

 

Complete bed rest is not required. You may carry on with your regular life with few restrictions as advised by your doctor

What are the risk and complications associated with treatment?

 

  • Ovarian Hyper Stimulation Syndrome (OHSS), is a condition wher an exaggerated response is seen of follicular development seen with stimulatory hormonal injections. The ovaries get enlarged and can be painful. There can be fluid accumulation in the tummy/abdomen and lungs causing difficulty in breathing etc 
  • Risk of multiple pregnancy, is approximately 10% in those who have double embryo transfer. With single embryo transfer, the risk remains at 1-3%. 
  • Miscarriages/Threatened abortions
  • Pre-Eclampsia
  • Preterm deliveries
  • Low birth weight or high birth weight babies
What are the side effects of IVF?

 

It is well tolerated by most of the women. A small percentage may experience minimal side effects like headache, abdominal bloating, constipation, nausea, dizziness, mild soreness at the injection site etc

Is IVF painful?

 

The IVF procedure is not painful. It is well tolerated by most of the women. Only painful procedure the egg retrieval is done under anaesthesia.

What is colposcopy and why is it done?

Colposcopy is a diagnostic procedure to closely examine the cervix for abnormalities if a Pap test result is abnormal. It’s safe and simple.

Do you handle emergency obstetric cases?

Absolutely. I have extensive experience managing obstetric emergencies like ectopic pregnancies, ruptured uterus, obstructed labor, and placenta previa with prompt surgical and medical care.

What role does early diagnosis play in managing high-risk pregnancy?

Early diagnosis allows us to anticipate complications and intervene in time — be it through medication, dietary changes, or planned delivery strategies.

Can women with previous C-sections or complications still have normal deliveries?

Yes, many can. I assess each case individually and offer options like VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) when it’s safe for both mother and baby.

How do you manage high-risk pregnancies differently?

I use a combination of close fetal monitoring, advanced ultrasounds, lab testing, and personalized delivery planning to ensure both mother and baby’s safety.

What makes a pregnancy “high-risk”?

Conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, multiple pregnancies, age over 35, previous pregnancy losses, or pre-existing health issues can classify a pregnancy as high-risk.
