Obstetric Services: Pregnancy Care & Delivery in Kolhapur

Led by Dr. Bharati Abhyankar (37+ years) and Dr. Tanvi Hirekerur-Abhyankar — caring, experienced support for you and your baby from the first check-up to life after delivery.

Pregnancy is one of life's most important journeys, and having one team who knows you throughout makes it calmer. At Purva Hospital our obstetricians look after you before the birth, during delivery and after, with the aim of a safe pregnancy, a safe delivery and a healthy mother and baby. Every plan is made with you, in plain words, so you know what is happening and why.

Our Obstetric Care

  • Antenatal Check-ups — regular visits to monitor your health and your baby's growth, with tests and ultrasound as advised.
  • Normal Delivery — supported, patient care that gives you the best chance of a safe vaginal birth.
  • Caesarean Section — performed safely, in our own operation theatre, whenever it is the better choice for you or your baby.
  • Postnatal Care — recovery checks for the mother, guidance on feeding and newborn care, and follow-up visits.

Why Regular Antenatal Visits Matter

If your pregnancy needs closer watching — for example because of a medical condition or a complication — see our page on high-risk pregnancy care.

  • Problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes or anaemia can be found and treated early
  • Your baby's growth and position can be followed over time
  • You get guidance on diet, supplements, exercise and warning signs
  • You can plan the delivery calmly rather than in a hurry

Our Approach at Purva Hospital

Your care is led by senior obstetricians with decades of experience, supported by our in-house pathology laboratory, ultrasound and pharmacy. We believe in giving every woman time — to ask questions, to understand her options and to take part in decisions about her delivery. A natural birth is encouraged where it is safe, and a caesarean is advised only when it is the safer choice. Our billing team assists insured patients with cashless claims.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I book my first antenatal visit?

As soon as your pregnancy is confirmed, ideally in the first trimester. An early visit lets us check your health, start any needed supplements and plan the tests and scans ahead.

How is it decided between a normal delivery and a caesarean?

The decision depends on your health, your baby's condition and position, and how labour progresses. Where it is safe, we encourage a normal delivery. A caesarean is advised when it is safer for you or your baby, and we explain the reasons clearly.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Bring any earlier reports and prescriptions, details of your last period and any medicines you take, and a list of your questions. If you have had earlier pregnancies or deliveries, bring those records too.

Is maternity care covered by insurance?

Maternity cover depends on your policy and its waiting period, so please check your policy. Purva Hospital offers hassle-free cashless claims with providers including New India Assurance, National Insurance Company, Oriental Insurance, United Insurance and Aditya Birla — our billing team assists throughout.
