Finding Answers After Heartbreak
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss is devastating, but it is rarely without a cause. Dr. Kunda Shahane provides the elite diagnostic testing, 3D uterine imaging, and specialized surveillance required to uncover the 'why' and safeguard your journey to motherhood.
Schedule an Investigation ScanWhen a woman experiences two or more miscarriages, the emotional toll is unimaginable. It is entirely natural to search for something you did "wrong"—a cup of coffee, carrying heavy groceries, or stress. We want to be absolutely clear: A miscarriage is not your fault.
Repeated pregnancy loss is a profound medical issue, usually caused by hidden genetic, structural, or immunological factors. General obstetric care is wonderful for healthy pregnancies, but when a body repeatedly rejects a pregnancy, it requires a maternal-fetal detective to find the microscopic root cause.
While your primary Obstetrician provides excellent general care, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) crosses into highly complex territories: advanced genetics, microscopic uterine anatomy, and maternal-fetal immunology.
A Fetal Medicine Specialist is specifically fellowship-trained to investigate the invisible factors that routine scans miss. We possess the high-resolution 3D ultrasound technology to see subtle defects inside the uterus, and the genetic expertise to map chromosomal misfires. When it comes to investigating and solving repeated pregnancy loss, there is simply no higher medical authority than a Fetal Medicine expert.
How we uncover the hidden causes of repeated miscarriages.
Over 60% of early miscarriages are due to random chromosomal errors in the embryo. However, sometimes one parent carries a "balanced translocation"—a silent genetic rearrangement that causes unbalanced genes in the baby. We use advanced Karyotyping and Microarray testing to identify these hidden genetic factors.
A standard 2D ultrasound cannot accurately diagnose the shape of the inside of the uterus. Dr. Kunda utilizes elite 3D pelvic sonography to detect microscopic structural anomalies like a Uterine Septum (a wall of tissue dividing the womb), fibroids, or scar tissue that prevents an embryo from implanting safely.
Sometimes, the mother's immune system attacks the pregnancy, or a blood clotting disorder (like Antiphospholipid Syndrome - APS) cuts off blood supply to the microscopic placenta. We run highly specific maternal blood panels to detect these hidden immunological and clotting issues.
If your losses have occurred in the second trimester (between 14-24 weeks), the cause is often a weak cervix that opens silently and painlessly under the weight of the growing baby. Dr. Kunda uses high-definition transvaginal ultrasound to measure cervical length and plan for a preventative stitch (cerclage).

Once we find the cause, we build an impenetrable wall of medical surveillance around your next pregnancy. Here is how Fetal Medicine fundamentally changes your care.
Before you even conceive again, we may correct uterine structures (like removing a septum) or start you on specific immune-modulating therapies or blood thinners (like Heparin/Aspirin) to prepare a perfect environment.
We do not wait until 12 weeks to see you. We perform high-frequency, early viability scans to monitor the fetal heartbeat, check the implantation site, and ensure the yolk sac and early placenta are forming perfectly.
As the pregnancy progresses, we continuously use Doppler ultrasound to measure the blood flow in the uterine arteries, ensuring the placenta is aggressively taking root and delivering sufficient oxygen to the baby.
