Specialized Training for High-risk Pregnancies
Patients are cared for by maternal-fetal medicine specialists, often referred to as perinatologists, who have special interest and expertise in caring for complicated pregnancies. Maternal-fetal medicine specialists are trained initially in obstetrics and gynecology and further in the discipline of maternal-fetal medicine to gain special competence in various obstetrical, medical and surgical complications of pregnancy.

These specialists provide care or consultation for both mother and fetus (unborn baby), education and research concerning the most recent approaches and techniques in high-risk obstetrics for optimal management of more complex pregnancies.

Maternal-fetal medicine specialists work with obstetricians and family physicians to provide consultations, co-management or direct care for patients deemed at high risk from preconception through pregnancy, labor and delivery.
