Advanced Center for Women’s Health at Providence - Maternal & Fetal Medicine
What Is Maternal-Fetal Medicine?
Maternal-fetal medicine providers care for high-risk pregnancies. These physicians receive additional training and certification to guide women facing complex pregnancies.
Your obstetrician may refer you to a maternal-fetal medicine specialist if you:
- Have chronic health conditions
- Are carrying multiples (like twins or triplets)
- Are over the age of 35
- Have a history of pregnancy loss
- Have a history of gestational diabetes or hypertension
- Achieved pregnancy through IVF
Compassionate, Experienced Care
Pregnancy is often equal parts stressful and beautiful, even without additional complexities or risk factors. That’s why our physicians strive to offer thoughtful, sensitive and skilled care, giving you peace of mind during your pregnancy journey.
