The high-rise housing along Science City Road and towards Bhadaj is among the closest residential areas to Gota. Couples from these towers who are planning their first baby often tell me they would like the hospital where they deliver to be near home on the day labour starts.
Science City Road to Gota in Roughly 10–15 Minutes
Follow Science City Road west to where it joins S.G. Highway, then turn right, heading north towards Gota. The hospital building, Athena Avenue, is reached from the highway service road; look for Eulogia Hotel, with the Jaguar showroom standing in front of the building. Without heavy traffic, the drive is about 10–15 minutes.
Gynecologist in Science City Road Area? Begin with a Pre-Pregnancy Visit
If you have not yet conceived, a pre-pregnancy check-up is a sensible opening appointment. It is a relaxed conversation more than an examination, and couples can come together.
We talk about starting folic acid, which is generally advised from before conception through the early weeks. I arrange a thyroid test and routine blood tests, such as a blood count, blood group, sugar and infection screening. That way, anything needing attention is found before pregnancy rather than during it. If either of you takes long-term medicines, for blood pressure, epilepsy, thyroid or anything else, we go through them one by one, because a few are better switched before you start trying. We also discuss any past miscarriage, earlier caesarean or family history of a genetic condition. Then you know in advance whether any extra scans or tests will be suggested.
Gynecologist in Science City, Ahmedabad? Antenatal Visits a Short Drive Away in Gota
Once you are pregnant, the short journey from Science City makes regular check-ups and scans much easier to keep up with. In an uncomplicated pregnancy, visits are commonly spaced about a month apart early on and become more frequent in the third trimester, ending up weekly towards the due date.
Alongside the visits, the scan timetable usually includes an early dating scan, the NT scan at 11–14 weeks, the anomaly scan at 18–22 weeks and, where needed, growth scans later on. Each visit includes a blood pressure check, weight and a look at the baby's growth; blood and urine tests are repeated at set points. If something changes, for example a rise in BP or a sugar test that comes back high, the plan changes with it.
Sonography Centre in Science City? The Pregnancy Scans I Perform at Gota
Many couples begin by searching for a sonography centre in Science City for their pregnancy scans. At Divine Women's Hospital, I perform the pregnancy scans myself, and a few practical points help them go smoothly.
Bring every earlier scan and blood report, as measurements make most sense when compared over time. For the NT scan, the baby has to lie in a particular position; if it does not, I may ask you to walk around for a few minutes and then look again. Detailed scans such as the level II anomaly scan take longer than a routine check, so allow time in your day. Ask the hospital if you would like your partner to join you for the scan. As the PCPNDT Act requires, the baby's sex is never determined or told to anyone at these scans.
When Labour Starts at Home in Science City
Call the hospital on +91 90545 74829 and set off if contractions become regular and painful, or if your waters break. Do the same if there is bleeding, or if the baby is moving less than usual. With a 10–15 minute journey, a straightforward labour usually does not need you to leave at the very earliest sign. We agree on your personal plan at a late antenatal visit. Hospital staff handle labour and obstetric emergencies 24 × 7, so the timing of day does not matter. Keep your file and reports in one bag near the door from about 36 weeks.
