Pregnancy brings joy, questions and, at times, worry. Regular antenatal care keeps a close eye on you and your baby, and gives you somewhere to bring every question as it comes up. At Venus Women’s Wellness Clinic in Wakad, Dr. Madhavi Tayade pairs careful modern monitoring with gentle Ayurvedic support for body and mind.
What antenatal care includes
Antenatal care follows your pregnancy week by week. At each visit we check your blood pressure and weight, and your baby’s growth and heartbeat. Blood and urine tests at the right stages look for anaemia, thyroid problems, infections and gestational diabetes. Sonography scans are planned for each trimester, including the important anomaly scan. We start and adjust supplements such as folic acid, iron and calcium, and advise vaccinations when they are due.
Each visit is also your time to talk about how you feel. Bring up nausea, tiredness, sleep, back pain, anxiety and any small question that has been on your mind.
The Modern and Ayurveda Way in pregnancy
Dr. Madhavi Tayade is a Consultant Gynaecologist and Obstetrician who has managed more than 500 normal deliveries. The modern side of your care follows standard antenatal guidelines, so nothing important is missed.
Ayurveda adds a layer of support around it. Month-wise diet guidance, traditionally called garbhini paricharya, helps you eat well at each stage. Selected Ayurvedic supplements suited to pregnancy may be added under medical supervision. Prenatal yoga, breathing and guided meditation help with comfort, sleep and calm, and may help prepare you for labour. You can also join Garbhasanskar sessions, which focus on your emotional bond with your baby.
When to contact us between visits
Contact us if you have bleeding, leaking of fluid, a severe headache, blurred vision, sudden swelling of the face or hands, high fever, burning while passing urine or severe vomiting, or if your baby is moving less than usual. For severe pain, heavy bleeding or any emergency, go to the nearest hospital or call 108.
Planning ahead for delivery
As your due date comes closer, we talk through your birth preferences, normal and painless delivery options, and how to prepare. Births are planned with a partner hospital, and we go over the details with you at consultation so you know what to expect.
Pregnant, or just seen a positive test? Congratulations. Call us or book your first antenatal visit with Dr. Madhavi Tayade at our Wakad clinic.
