Our Approach to Obstetrics

Obstetrics is a medical specialty dedicated to the comprehensive care of pregnant women, their unborn children, and the management of post-delivery care. At Core Luxe, we provide a wide array of services designed to monitor and support the health of both the mother and the baby throughout the pregnancy journey. We understand that each pregnancy is unique, and our team is equipped to handle everything from routine prenatal care to high-risk complications with the utmost professionalism and compassion.

Preeclampsia

A condition characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to another organ system, often the kidneys, occurring after the 20th week of pregnancy.

Gestational Diabetes

Diabetes diagnosed for the first-time during pregnancy, affecting how cells use sugar and potentially increasing the risk of delivering a large baby and other complications.

Pre-existing Diabetes

Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes that exists before pregnancy which can increase the risk of birth defects and other issues

Multiple Pregnancies

Pregnancies involving twins, triplets, or more, which can increase the risk of premature labor and low birth weight.

Obesity

High body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy can increase the risk of various pregnancy and childbirth complications.

Renal Disease

Cardiac Diseases

Pre-existing heart conditions can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy and delivery.

Blood Clotting Disorders (Thrombophilia)
