Management of Medical Disorders in Pregnancy
Monitoring and Treating Conditions Like Diabetes, Thyroid Dysfunction, and Hypertension
At KidsHeart Medical Center, we understand that pregnancy places new demands on the body — especially when pre-existing or new medical conditions are involved.
Our specialists in Dubai and Abu Dhabi provide dedicated care for women managing chronic or pregnancy-related medical conditions.
From early screening to close monitoring and delivery planning, we help ensure a safe pregnancy for both mother and baby. Explore our gynecology services here.
When medical conditions are part of the pregnancy picture, experience and vigilance make all the difference.
What Are Medical Disorders in Pregnancy?
Medical disorders during pregnancy can include both chronic conditions a woman already has and those that emerge due to hormonal or metabolic changes. Common concerns we manage include:
- Gestational diabetes or pre-existing type 1 or 2 diabetes
- Thyroid dysfunction (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism)
- Hypertension, including preeclampsia or chronic high blood pressure
- Autoimmune disorders such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis
- Anemia and clotting conditions
- Kidney or liver concerns that may affect pregnancy progression
Our goal is to keep symptoms stable and reduce the risk of complications for both you and your baby.
