High-risk pregnancy care
A pregnancy may be considered high risk for a number of reasons, such as the mother's age or preexisting medical conditions. If your obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) has identified potential risk factors in your pregnancy, they may refer you to a maternal-fetal medicine specialist.
Maternal-fetal medicine physicians specifically focus on caring for mothers during a high-risk pregnancy. We have a maternal-fetal medicine doctor on staff who offers compassionate care to mothers with certain risk factors or concerns about carrying their child to full term.
Our maternal-fetal medicine services include:
- Comprehensive assessment of conditions that may pose a risk to sustaining a pregnancy
- Diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy-related complications that may affect the mother and/or baby
- Management of preexisting medical conditions that may cause complications during pregnancy
