What is Fetal Medicine?
Fetal Medicine, also known as Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM), is a specialized branch of obstetrics that focuses on managing high-risk pregnancies and monitoring fetal development.
It involves:
- Advanced fetal ultrasonography
- Prenatal screening and genetic testing
- Risk assessment and complication management
- Early diagnosis of structural or developmental abnormalities
The goal is early detection, timely intervention, and safer pregnancy outcomes. We combine advanced imaging technology with expert clinical care to support you at every stage of pregnancy.
Who Needs Fetal Medicine Care?
You may require evaluation by a fetal medicine specialist if you have:
- High blood pressure or diabetes during pregnancy
- Multiple pregnancy (twins or more)
- Previous pregnancy complications
- Abnormal screening results
- Family history of genetic disorders
- Advanced maternal age
- Suspected fetal growth restriction or structural abnormalities
Early referral improves monitoring and reduces pregnancy risks.
