Every pregnancy carries some risk, but certain conditions can increase the chance of complications.
Dr Henry Cheng, an experienced high-risk pregnancy gynae in Bishan & Novena, provides expert care and close monitoring for high-risk pregnancies.
With his guidance, many women have delivered safely at hospitals like Mount Alvernia, Mount Elizabeth, and Thomson Medical.
A pregnancy is considered “high-risk” if there are increased health risks for the mum-to-be, the baby or both. It is recommended that high-risk pregnancies are managed by O&G specialists to ensure the best possible outcome for the pregnant lady and the baby.
If your pregnancy is classified as high-risk, your doctor will work together with you and your partner to monitor the pregnancy more closely.
With over 20 years of experience in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Dr Henry Cheng specialises in the management of high-risk pregnancies, including conditions such as gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, multiple pregnancies, and other complex maternal or fetal health concerns.
High-risk pregnancies require careful monitoring and expert care to ensure the best outcomes for both mother and baby. Whether due to pre-existing conditions like diabetes or autoimmune disorders, or pregnancy-related complications, Dr Henry Cheng provides personalised, evidence-based care throughout every stage of the journey.
Depending on the type of high-risk pregnancy, the doctor may order the following tests:
Detailed Ultrasound Screening
To evaluate the baby’s well-being & to check for any birth defects.
Foetal Echocardiography
To evaluate your baby’s heart for any abnormalities.
Genetic Screening
Genetic screening is done using amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling.
Routine laboratory tests
These include urine analysis, blood tests, oral glucose tolerance tests, and tests for infectious diseases.
