High-Risk Obstetrical Services
The Division of
Maternal-Fetal Medicine provides comprehensive care of the mother and a
second patient, the fetus, in any pregnancy, and especially any pregnancy complicated by maternal or fetal problems. Management of high-risk pregnancies can include preconception counseling, antenatal testing using ultrasound imaging and/or prenatal diagnosis (such as nuchal translucency screening or invasive prenatal testing such as amniocentesis or chronic villus sampling), electronic fetal heart monitoring, and management of delivery and postpartum care. Patients who are candidates for care by Maternal-Fetal Medicine physicians are those with maternal complication (e.g., diabetes, renal disease, Rh disease or previous difficult pregnancy). Fetal problems that often require sub-specialty care include premature rupture of the membranes, premature labor and growth, or development problems.
