Medical Emergencies that might arise during Pregnancy
#KnowledgeSeries #VedanshaHospital
Maternity emergencies:-
Life threatening problems for mother and baby are called as obstetric emergencies. They are as follows:
Emergencies that may arise during pregnancy:
• Miscarriage – It can be also called as spontaneous abortion, which results in the loss of foetus before 20 weeks of pregnancy or gestation. It mostly happens in the period of first trimester or first three months of pregnancy. A miscarriage can happen due to various reasons and cannot be controlled when it starts; the mother might need a proper treatment for infection, or to remove remaining tissue from the body.
• Ectopic pregnancy – It happens when the fertilised egg implants in one of the fallopian tubes (it carries eggs from the ovaries to the uterus) and grows outside the main cavity of uterus (womb). It is also called as ‘tubal pregnancy’. This type pregnancy cannot continue as the fertilised eggs cannot survive outside the uterus and this can result in serious loss of blood. If treated early, only medication is sufficient; but in emergency, surgery is required.
• Placental abruption – It happens when the placenta separates from the uterus before childbirth – occurs mostly around 25 weeks of pregnancy. It can cause vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain and severe low blood pressure.
• Placenta praevia – When placenta partially or totally covers the opening in the mother’s cervix. In this, placenta attaches to the lower part of the uterus which partly or completely blocks the opening of the womb. Mother may suffer from vaginal bleeding throughout pregnancy and during delivery.
• Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia – Dangerous pregnancy complications -induced high blood pressure (hypertension) and protein in the urine (proteinuria). It usually begins after 20 weeks of pregnancy and causes swelling in legs and water retention. It can lead to serious complications for mother and baby. If not treated properly, pre-eclampsia is converted to eclampsia (development of seizures in woman with pre-eclampsia).
• Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) – Rupture of amniotic fluid before contractions or labour begin. If the waters break before 37 weeks of pregnancy and leads to leakage of amniotic fluid or infection of the amniotic sac it is called as preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and is an emergency situation.

Imagine waking up to screams of someone in extreme pain, a lady screaming at the top of her voice – a sound that you can hear from a long distance, the scream of a would-be- mother in her labour pain.
Yes that is exactly how I start my day.
I am a bed in a maternity hospital.
My morning alarm is either a baby’s cry or a mother’s scream.
Every day I get to witness life’s most beautiful miracle- that of a child birth!
These little angels sometimes arrive seamlessly and in some rare cases, fight for their life when they arrive. I get to hear their first-cries and I get to see the smiles that they bring on their mother’s faces.
I get to witness how the team of doctors arrive all geared up and execute the operation using all their expertise. I also get too see how sometimes the to-be-mothers fight with pain and how they eventually discover it was worth it, when they hold their babies in their hands.
Indeed it’s a blissful scene.
At my stay here, I have seen families and mothers, coming from all varied backgrounds.
While there have been rich families driving in their expensive cars and witnessing their prince/angel arrive in this word, there are these other less privileged ones too, who just make it to the hospital with almost no resource, but still be equally happy when their little ones arrive.
Childbirth is indeed a leveller and I get to see this beautiful moment daily.
Although my days and nights are filled with potty pots and nappies, I have little complains from my life. I continue to build memories and witness this miracle again and again.
Until next time, see you! For any maternity or IVF related query,

If you’re thinking about becoming a mother after 40, some natural conditions can hinder the joy of having a successful and safe pregnancy. Even a chance of getting pregnant after 40 through IVF with self eggs is comparatively lower than that before 40.
So, if you are a woman above the age of 40 and planning a family, this article can really help you take an informed decision about IVF.
The desire to have a child arises at a certain point in time in the life of every couple. However, sometimes medical conditions do not allow them to have one.
A boon to such childless couples is the method of IVF and Surrogacy.
A few decades ago, there was no solution for infertile couples who desired to have a child. But thanks to medical technology, IVF and surrogacy have helped many couples to enjoy the bliss of parenthood.
However, still in India, people are not fully aware of surrogacy and IVF.
So, here we have come up with common questions people might have about the same.
