If your pregnancy isn’t routine, your OB/GYN may refer you to a maternal fetal medicine (MFM) specialist. Our high-risk pregnancy expert, also called a perinatologist, is an OB/GYN who specializes in high-risk mothers and will partner with you and your OB/GYN to manage your care during pregnancy. Your pregnancy could be considered high risk if you have existing health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure; if you develop complications during pregnancy; or if you are having twins, triplets or other multiples.
MFM physicians complete additional years of training in high-risk pregnancy after becoming an OB/GYN, and these physicians’ focus is keeping high-risk mothers their babies safe and healthy before, during and after pregnancy.
