High-Risk Pregnancy

Approximately 30 percent of women experience a pregnancy-related complication before, during or after delivery. That's why we specialize in high-risk pregnancies and work closely with your obstetrician or certified nurse-midwife.

Maternal-Fetal Medicine physicians, also called perinatologists, are obstetricians who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care of expectant mothers and their unborn babies. You would be referred to a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist by your obstetrician or by an infertility specialist because they see a potential for a pregnancy-related health concern before you have conceived or because a problem develops during the pregnancy.

The Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist works hand-in-hand with your obstetrician to develop a plan of care. Though you may see a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist several times throughout your pregnancy, your own obstetrician will continue to manage the pregnancy and will deliver the baby. The Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist is usually not present at the birth, but may consult with a neonatologist—a pediatrician who specializes in care for newborns with special medical needs—before the delivery to make sure all necessary services are in place.
