Maternal-fetal medicine specialists bring expertise and experience to pregnancies that need extra care. Your obstetrician likely will refer you to a maternal-fetal medicine specialist to get an additional viewpoint for a high-risk pregnancy such as multiples or if ultrasound revealed a condition that requires specialized treatment.

Maternal-fetal medicine specialists give additional insight while you continue under the care of your obstetrician, who will deliver your baby. Maternal-fetal medicine specialsists also work closely with Norton Children’s fetal care.
