One hospital, from the first scan to going home
Kilpauk is the Yaal centre with labour and delivery rooms, operation theatres, a neonatal care unit and an ICU. The obstetricians who see you for check-ups work in the same building where your baby will be born, on Poonamallee High Road.
Women from Anna Nagar, Aminjikarai, Purasaiwalkam, Chetpet, Villivakkam, Perambur and Kolathur come here for the whole pregnancy. The hospital is a short walk from Kilpauk Metro on the Green Line, and New Avadi Road and Taylors Road bring families in from the north and west.
There is an emergency and triage area on site. If you have bleeding, pain or leaking fluid between visits, you are seen in the hospital that already holds your scans and notes.
Mothers from Anna Nagar, Shenoy Nagar and Chetpet can have their check-ups and their delivery in the same hospital, a short drive from home, with the Kilpauk Metro on the Green Line close by.
When a pregnancy needs more attention
All three obstetricians here are trained in high-risk pregnancy care. Having theatres, an ICU and a neonatal unit in the building matters most in pregnancies like these.
High blood pressure or pre-eclampsia
BP and urine checks at every visit, growth scans in the later weeks, and an ICU on site if a mother becomes unwell.
Gestational diabetes
The sugar test at 24–28 weeks, diet advice and medicine if needed, with growth scans to see how the baby is responding.
A previous caesarean
Your doctor reviews how the last birth went and talks through a planned caesarean or a trial of labour, with the theatre in the same building either way.
A baby measuring small
Dr. Kunguma Sangeetha does growth scans here, so the baby can be measured at regular intervals and the timing of birth planned around it.
Bleeding or pain in early pregnancy
An ultrasound to see what is happening, and a clear plan for follow-up.
Pregnancy after fertility treatment
Many women conceive with the fertility team in this building and simply carry on their check-ups here.
Kilpauk's obstetric team
Dr. Kunguma Sangeetha also does the NT, anomaly and growth scans. Dr. Nandhini G M's work includes antenatal and postnatal care.

Booked at another Yaal centre?
If your check-ups are in Mylapore, Red Hills, Pallikaranai or another Yaal centre, Kilpauk is where your baby will be born. Your doctor will tell you when to visit Kilpauk before the birth and will send your notes ahead, so the labour team already knows your history.

Questions We Hear Often
Can I deliver my baby at Yaal Kilpauk?+
Yes. Kilpauk has labour and delivery rooms, operation theatres for caesarean birth, a neonatal care unit, an ICU and in-patient rooms. It is the one Yaal centre where babies are born.
Are the NT and anomaly scans done here?+
Yes. Dr. Kunguma Sangeetha does fetal imaging at Kilpauk, including the NT scan at 11–13 weeks, the anomaly scan at about 20 weeks and growth scans later on. Routine pregnancy ultrasound is done here too.
What if my baby needs special care after birth?+
The neonatal care unit is inside the same hospital, so your baby stays close to you. There is also an ICU on site if a mother needs it.
How do I get to the hospital by metro?+
Get off at Kilpauk Metro on the Green Line. The hospital is a short walk away on Poonamallee High Road in Alagappa Nagar.
My check-ups are at a different Yaal centre. Can I still deliver at Kilpauk?+
Yes, that is the usual plan. Your doctor arranges it with you well before your due date.
What do I bring to my first antenatal check-up at Kilpauk?+
The date your last period started and your blood group card are the essentials. Reports from any earlier pregnancy, including scans, help the team plan ahead. Carry the medicines and supplements you take, such as folic acid, so they can be reviewed.
What does an antenatal visit cost at Kilpauk?+
₹300 to ₹600 for the consultation with an ultrasound. If blood tests or a specialised scan are due, you are told the cost before they are done.
