Tilak understands that pregnancy marks a very special time in a woman\u2019s life. He is only a phone call away from his private patients at all times. Knowing that you may be nervous, he is prepared to answer all your questions and always does so in an exceptionally kind and calm manner.<\/p>\n

Tilak looks after high-risk pregnancies in mothers with diabetes or high blood pressure. He offers vaginal birth for twins and babies in breech positions, where appropriate. He also offers vaginal births after a previous caesarean section, once again, where appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.obstetrician-melbourne.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/tilka-image.jpg” alt=”tilka image” title_text=”tilka image” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”400px”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”3px||3px||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”24px||0px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”581,573,681″ posts_number=”3″ show_title_and_caption=”off” show_pagination=”off” zoom_icon_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(124,218,36,0)” _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” module_id=”Pre-pregnancy-counselling” _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”||2px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n Before embarking on their first pregnancy, many couples choose to have a professional consultation, particularly if there have been health issues in the past.<\/p>\n Existing medical conditions can be discussed prior to getting pregnant, and the situation optimised. Diabetic patients should have their blood sugar control optimised and patients with high blood pressure should have their medication changed to medications that are safe in pregnancy.<\/p>\n All women trying to conceive should start taking folic acid and iodine. They should also be checked for German measles (rubella) and chicken pox and if they are not immune, should be vaccinated at least one month before trying to conceive. Checking for Hepatitis is also worthwhile at this point.<\/p>\n This is a good opportunity to check for common genetic disorders, such a Thalassemia, or less common ones, such as Cystic Fibrosis, Taysachs decease and Spinal Muscular Atrophy.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.obstetrician-melbourne.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/1.-Pre-pregnancy-counselling-including-genetic-screening-opt-400w.png” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”14px|||||”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ module_id=”Cord-blood-collection” _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”46px|||||”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.obstetrician-melbourne.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Cord-blood-collection-option-1-opy-400w.png” align=”center” disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.5.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”7px|||||”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n Fetal blood is a ready source of stem cells and can easily be collected from the umbilical cord after the birth of the baby.<\/p>\n Stem cells are cells that have the capability to become any sort of cell in the body. Currently, cord blood stem cells are being used to provide bone marrow transplants after chemotherapy to young children with blood cancers, such as Leukaemia. It is thought that these stem cells may have future applications for patients with a wide variety of illnesses, such as diabetes or neurological disease.<\/p>\n Cord blood can be collected and there are several private companies that can store the blood for you.

If this is discovered before 36 weeks, about half of these babies can be turned with a procedure called External Cephalic Version.

These include pregnancies in mothers with diabetes, thyroid disease and several less common conditions. Pregnancies in older women also come under this category. Despite the perceived high risk nature of these pregnancies, the outcome is generally good for both mother and baby.<\/p>\n Most mothers can still have a vaginal birth. The fourth trimester is the period from the day your baby is born, till s\/he is three months old.<\/p>\n Traditionally, there was a time of recovery and bonding between the parents and new baby following the birth. Mothers were cared for by family members and there was always help at hand. Meals were cooked and chores were done, giving the new mother time to rest and recover.<\/p>\n The importance of rest and recovery is not to be taken lightly.
