Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM)

Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) is a specialized field within obstetrics dedicated to the management of high-risk pregnancies. This discipline encompasses the care of both the mother and fetus, addressing complex medical, surgical, obstetrical, fetal, and genetic issues that may arise during pregnancy. MFM specialists, also known as perinatologists, possess advanced training and expertise in handling high-risk pregnancy conditions such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm labor, multiple gestations, and fetal abnormalities. These professionals collaborate closely with obstetricians, neonatologists, and other healthcare providers to ensure optimal outcomes for both mother and child. Utilizing advanced diagnostic techniques, including ultrasound, fetal echocardiography, and genetic testing, MFM specialists deliver comprehensive care tailored to the unique needs of each patient.
