The highest level of pregnancy care
Be seen by OBGYN specialists who have undergone additional years of training in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of high-risk pregnancies. Our physicians collaborate with genetic counselors, neonatologists, and pediatric cardiologists to bring you the highest level of compassionate and innovative care. Make an appointment with one of our primary care OBGYNs to talk over your history, conditions, and concerns to determine if a Maternal Fetal Medicine OGBYN is necessary for a safe pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum recovery.
Prenatal diagnosis uses advanced imaging and testing to assess your baby’s health early on. This may include blood tests, ultrasounds, chorionic villus sampling (CVS), or amniocentesis. It helps identify genetic conditions or structural differences, giving you time to understand your options, plan next steps, and receive compassionate guidance throughout the process.
If your pregnancy involves added medical complexity, you’re not alone. High risk simply means you need closer monitoring due to age, pre-existing conditions, or past complications. Care may include additional ultrasounds, laboratory tests, or specialist support. It’s about giving you and your baby the safest, most personalized path forward.
Your health shapes your baby’s. Maternal care includes managing blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid issues, mental well-being, and more. Regular monitoring, medication adjustments, and personalized check-ins ensure that both your needs and your baby’s development are tracked with care and responsiveness.
Fetal therapy refers to medical procedures that support a baby’s health before birth, sometimes treating conditions in the womb. This might include medication, blood transfusions, or more advanced interventions. It’s coordinated by specialists when specific concerns are identified, offering care tailored to both the baby and the parent during critical moments.
Pregnancy brings emotional highs and lows, especially with health complications. Counseling offers a safe space to process anxiety, grief, or decision-making stress. Whether through one-on-one sessions or resource referrals, support is an essential part of care, helping you feel heard, steady, and less alone in your journey.
When pregnancy is high-risk, delivery planning becomes even more critical. Discussions cover birth timing, hospital setup, potential interventions, and support needs. Planning doesn’t take away flexibility. It simply helps everyone feel ready. It’s about feeling informed, safe, and supported when the moment comes.
Pregnancy and postpartum changes, especially in high-risk or hormone-sensitive cases, can affect bone strength. A bone density scan (DEXA) helps detect early signs of osteoporosis or thinning. It’s beneficial after long-term bed rest, thyroid issues, or premature menopause. Early insights lead to strong, supportive care plans.
These scans provide a more comprehensive picture than weight alone, measuring fat, muscle, and hydration levels. In pregnancy, they help monitor maternal health, nutrition status, and recovery after delivery. Especially valuable in high-risk or metabolic conditions, the results support the implementation of tailored care and realistic wellness goals.
Nutrition in high-risk pregnancies often requires additional support. Whether you’re managing gestational diabetes, weight concerns, or nutrient deficiencies, personalized guidance helps fuel you and your baby. Care might include meal planning, lab tracking, and supplements.
