Staying healthy & safe during high-risk pregnancy
If you have a health problem, even if it’s well-managed, you’ll need special care during pregnancy. Common conditions like high blood pressure can quickly turn into serious complications that threaten the well-being of mothers and their babies.
Dr. Joe Austin has helped thousands of women deliver healthy babies safely – even in high-risk situations.
He is experienced with managing these and most other problems that can complicate pregnancy:
- High blood pressure, which can cause the most serious pregnancy complications – pregnancy-induced hypertension and eclampsia (a potentially devastating condition characterized by convulsions and loss of consciousness)
- Preexisting diabetes and gestational diabetes
- Blood disorders as well as diseases of the heart, kidneys and thyroid
Dr. Austin carefully and frequently monitors women with these problems, adjusting their medications and advising them on diet and lifestyle changes as needed. Plus, the in-office 3D ultrasound at Vicksburg Women’s Care makes it convenient for women to get this important test as often as necessary.
If you’re concerned that your pregnancy might be complicated by a medical condition, see Dr. Austin for the attentive, experienced care you and your baby need. Call to schedule your obstetrics visit today.
