However, complications related to the placenta can pose serious risks to both mother and child, and so expert care is required to ensure the best outcomes.
Dr. Lida Anwari specialises in managing placental disease, offering personalised care to support a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery. Whether your pregnancy usually progresses or requires closer monitoring, having a knowledgeable and experienced consultant can make all the difference.
Placental insufficiency is when the placenta is not in a position to provide the foetus with enough oxygen and nutrients. This usually causes intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), preterm birth and low birth weight.
Symptoms may not always be apparent, making regular monitoring essential. Signs such as reduced foetal movements or abnormal results in ultrasound growth scans could indicate this condition. Timely identification and management are key to the wellbeing of mother and baby, and Dr. Lida provides advanced diagnostic tools and expert management to address it.
A serious pregnancy complication, placental abruption occurs when the placenta detaches from the uterus prematurely. This separation can disrupt the baby's oxygen and nutrient supply, causing complications such as severe vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain and uterine tenderness, and preterm labour.
Survival depends on the amount of the placenta that has separated and on early presentation and prompt treatment. If diagnosed early, chances of survival are greatly improved, and emergency delivery may be required for complete abruption. Dr. Lida's expertise ensures these emergencies are managed with precision and care.
Placental complications require more than routine obstetric care. While general OBGYNs are skilled in managing pregnancies, a foetal medicine consultant like Dr. Lida Anwari has the advanced training and experience to detect and address complex conditions early. Even if your pregnancy is progressing normally, having a consultant involved can offer:
Choosing a consultant ensures that your pregnancy is managed comprehensively, giving you peace of mind at every stage.

Managing placental disease requires meticulous attention. Dr. Lida ensures frequent monitoring through regular ultrasounds to track your baby's growth and placental function, foetal heart monitoring to assess wellbeing, and individualised plans to address any additional conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
If you are diagnosed with placental insufficiency and your pregnancy is approaching term (37 weeks), Dr. Lida carefully assesses your baby's condition to decide the safest course of action — offering expert guidance in labour induction for a safe, timely vaginal delivery, caesarean delivery when it provides the best outcome, and steroids if preterm delivery is unavoidable to support your baby's lung development.
Dr. Lida's care extends to monitoring and managing other conditions that can impact pregnancy, such as diabetes and hypertension, ensuring these factors are effectively controlled to minimise complications.

Placental abruption can deprive the baby of essential oxygen and nutrients, potentially causing serious complications.
