Searching for hypertension in pregnancy care near me in PCMC or Pune? Srushti Hospital and IVF Center is on Dange Chowk Road in Thergaon, reachable from Wakad, Dange Chowk and across Pimpri-Chinchwad. Srushti Hospital and IVF Center provides the facility for antenatal monitoring under Dr. Nikhil A. Mahadar, gynecologist in PCMC, at a single location.
What Is Hypertension in Pregnancy?
Hypertension in pregnancy means blood pressure that is higher than normal, either before pregnancy or developing during it. It is one of the most common complications of pregnancy. Most cases are identified and managed successfully through regular monitoring rather than becoming an emergency.
As a gynecologist in PCMC, Dr. Nikhil A. Mahadar checks blood pressure at every antenatal visit specifically because catching a rise early keeps far more options open than discovering it late.
Who Is at Risk
Several factors increase the likelihood of developing hypertension in pregnancy, though having one or more does not make it certain:
- A first pregnancy
- A family history of pre-eclampsia
- A multiple pregnancy, such as twins
- Being significantly overweight
- Being a very young mother or over 35
- Pre-existing hypertension, diabetes or kidney disease
- Pre-eclampsia in a previous pregnancy

Types of Hypertension in Pregnancy
Chronic hypertension
High blood pressure present before pregnancy, or diagnosed before 20 weeks.
Gestational hypertension
Develops after 20 weeks, without protein in the urine or other organ involvement.
Pre-eclampsia
High blood pressure after 20 weeks along with protein in the urine or signs affecting other organs. This needs closer monitoring and, in some cases, early delivery.
Superimposed pre-eclampsia.
Pre-eclampsia developing on top of pre-existing chronic hypertension.
Eclampsia.
Seizures occurring in a woman with pre-eclampsia. This is a medical emergency requiring immediate hospital care.
Warning Signs That Need Urgent Attention
If you are pregnant and notice any of the following, contact Dr. Mahadar or go to the nearest hospital promptly rather than waiting for your next scheduled visit:
- A severe or persistent headache
- Vision changes, such as blurring, flashing lights or spots
- Pain in the upper abdomen, often under the ribs on the right side
- Sudden or severe swelling in the face, hands or legs
- Noticeably reduced urine output
- Nausea or vomiting that is new later in pregnancy
These signs can indicate pre-eclampsia progressing and are worth acting on quickly rather than monitoring at home.

Treatment and Management
Management depends on the type and severity identified.
- Regular monitoring. For mild or gestational hypertension, with more frequent visits as needed.
- Medication. To help control blood pressure, prescribed and adjusted by Dr. Mahadar based on your specific readings.
- Closer monitoring or hospital admission. For pre-eclampsia, to watch for progression and protect both mother and baby.
- Timing of delivery. In more severe cases, delivery may need to be planned earlier than the original due date, balancing risks for mother and baby.

Why Monitoring Matters
Left unmonitored, hypertension in pregnancy, particularly pre-eclampsia, can affect the mother’s organs and reduce blood flow to the baby, which can slow growth or lead to the need for earlier delivery. Most cases, caught early through regular antenatal visits, are managed well without reaching this point.
Regular monitoring is not about assuming something will go wrong. It is what keeps the more serious outcomes rare.

Frequently Asked Questions
Readings persistently at or above 140/90 mmHg are generally considered high in pregnancy, though Dr. Mahadar interprets your specific readings in the context of your full antenatal picture.
Gestational hypertension is high blood pressure after 20 weeks without protein in the urine or other organ involvement. Pre-eclampsia includes those additional findings and needs closer monitoring.
If unmonitored, it can reduce blood flow to the placenta and affect the baby’s growth. Regular monitoring is specifically what catches this early, when there are still options to manage it.
Severe headache, vision changes, upper abdominal pain, sudden swelling, reduced urine output and new nausea or vomiting later in pregnancy are all worth acting on promptly rather than waiting for your next visit.
Sometimes, depending on severity. Dr. Mahadar discusses timing based on your specific readings and how the pregnancy is progressing, balancing risks for both mother and baby.
It cannot always be prevented, but risk factors can be identified early. Regular monitoring catches a rise before it becomes severe.
It raises the likelihood in a future pregnancy, which is worth mentioning to Dr. Mahadar at your first antenatal visit so monitoring can start with that history in mind.
The consultation fee is ₹500 per visit. Call ahead to confirm whether the same fee applies to a follow-up visit.
