If your unborn child has a suspected or confirmed medical condition or birth defect, we provide seamless, coordinated care throughout your pregnancy and delivery, as well as ongoing care for your baby after they are born.
Our maternal fetal medicine specialists work with reproductive geneticists, genetic counselors and other fetal specialists to establish or confirm a suspected condition. We use high-resolution fetal ultrasound and other prenatal tests, as well as family history, to help identify specific syndromes and causes of birth defects.
Our genetic counselors explain the prenatal tests and treatment options available to help you make the best decision for your baby's care. We provide educational and support resources for each stage of pregnancy - from diagnosis to delivery and beyond into pediatric care.
Our nurse case manager is your central contact and creates a personalized care plan for you and baby based on recommendations from our care team. She coordinates appointments with the fetal care team and any pediatric specialists needed to ensure ongoing care after birth.
