Frequently asked questions
A Maternal-Fetal Medicine Center is a specialized facility that provides comprehensive care for women with low-risk and high-risk pregnancies. It focuses on managing maternal and fetal complications before, during, and after pregnancy to optimize outcomes for both mother and baby.
We offer a wide range of services, including preconception counseling, prenatal diagnosis and screening, management of maternal medical conditions, fetal monitoring, genetic counseling, ultrasound evaluations, fetal interventions, and coordination of care with other specialists. Visit our services page to learn more.
We see women at any stage of their pregnancy journey. From preconception to birth, our healthcare providers are experts in their field. Women with low-risk and high-risk pregnancies, including those with preexisting medical conditions (such as diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease), multiple gestations, advanced maternal age, history of pregnancy complications, genetic concerns, or fetal anomalies, can benefit from the specialized care we provide.
During your initial visit, you can expect a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, a discussion of your current pregnancy and any concerns you may have. Depending on your specific needs, additional tests or diagnostic procedures may be recommended.
In most cases, women receiving care from us will continue to see their regular obstetrician for routine prenatal care. Our specialists will work closely with your obstetrician to develop and implement a personalized care plan tailored to your unique needs.
Genetic counseling is an integral part of MFM care, especially for women with a family history of genetic disorders, advanced maternal age, or abnormal prenatal screening results. Genetic counselors provide information, support, and guidance to help individuals make informed decisions about genetic testing and pregnancy management.
Coverage for services may vary depending on your insurance plan and individual circumstances. It's important to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage and any potential out-of-pocket costs associated with MFM care.
The benefits of receiving care from us include access to specialized expertise in managing high-risk pregnancies, personalized care plans tailored to individual needs, advanced diagnostic and treatment options, and comprehensive support throughout the pregnancy journey.
