The Early Pregnancy Unit at Corniche Hospital manages a variety of medical conditions that can affect a woman’s health and pregnancy during the first trimester.
One of the most common complications of early pregnancy, miscarriage can occur naturally or require medical intervention. Corniche Hospital provides comprehensive options based on the clinical scenario and the patient’s preference, including expectant, medical, or surgical management.
This life-threatening condition, where a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus—most often in the fallopian tube—requires urgent diagnosis and treatment. The unit offers prompt ultrasound evaluation and, when necessary, surgical intervention or methotrexate therapy.
Severe nausea and vomiting can lead to dehydration, weight loss, and hospitalization if not managed appropriately. Corniche Hospital provides individualized treatment plans, including IV therapy and nutritional support, to stabilize symptoms and ensure the well-being of both mother and baby.
When an ultrasound cannot initially locate the pregnancy, further testing is required. Corniche’s protocol includes blood tests for beta-hCG levels and repeat scans to reach a conclusive diagnosis quickly and safely.
These rare complications involve abnormal tissue growth instead of a viable pregnancy. Early diagnosis through ultrasound and laboratory markers allows for timely treatment and long-term follow-up at Corniche.
This is a rare complication of pregnancy, where pregnancies implanted in the previous cesarean section scar. Corniche Hospital provides expert ultrasound scan to make accurate diagnosis, counseling and individualized management.
