Dr Shetty provides connected and compassionate care to women of all cultural backgrounds.
Certain ethnicities may make you more vulnerable of developing certain conditions in pregnancy such as diabetes, fetal growth restriction and preterm birth.

Please visit our services page to learn more about these conditions here.

While many obstetricians say they are “high risk” doctors – and can and do treat high risk conditions, a Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialist has formal qualifications in complex delivery, and this includes three years of extra obstetric training as an advanced obstetric Fellowship.

MFMs often supervise the labour ward and teach trainee obstetricians to manage pregnancy and how to deal with complex situations should they arise.  

The biggest reason most women see an MFM specialist is if they have concerns about a high-risk pregnancy (such as diabetes, obesity, poor growth rate in baby or high blood pressure in pregnancy to name a few).

Ask yourself these questions to see if you might be a candidate for a higher risk pregnancy.  

1. Do I have an auto-immune disease, high blood pressure, gestational diabetes, depression/anxiety or other chronic health conditions that may impact my pregnancy? 
2. Do I take medications that need close monitoring in pregnancy? 
3. Have I had an abnormal glucose tolerance test in pregnancy (also known as gestational diabetes test or sugar test in pregnancy)?
4. Have I had complications with previous pregnancies such as recurrent miscarriage, very early or very long labours, placenta praevia, preterm birth, preeclampsia or a clotting disorder? 
5. Am I having triplets or a multiple birth pregnancy? 
6. Am I having IVF? 
7. Is there a family history of inherited disorders (also called genetic disorders)? 
8. Have I had high-risk results on (non-invasive prenatal testing) NIPT or other suspected problems on ultrasound?  
9. Is the role of 3D or 4D ultrasound important due to previous health concerns for myself or my baby?
10. Do I have a sexually transmitted disease that may impact my pregnancy such as HIV, chlamydia or herpes (HPV)? 

If you answer yes to any of these questions, or you have previously been told you are at risk of a high-risk labour, seek guidance from your GP as to whether an obstetrician or maternal foetal medicine specialist can assist you.
