More Details
No family wants to hear the words “high-risk pregnancy.” But if you do, it’s important to find the best care possible and get answers to all your questions.
Maternal, Fetal and Neonatal Care programs at Children’s Health℠ include experts from the UT Southwestern Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) Program, neonatologists, OB/GYNS, as well as community-based MFM specialists and other pediatric specialists across the region. Together, we provide the highest level of care for families with all types of pregnancy complications, including the most complex ones.
Maternal-fetal medicine centers care for families facing a complication during pregnancy. This specialty also focuses on caring for babies in the womb diagnosed with health problems found during a fetal ultrasound. Our multi-disciplinary team starts by providing you with the most accurate diagnosis possible, using the most advanced diagnostic tools available. We also work closely with your established pregnancy provider and any other pediatric specialists your baby may need.
Together, we develop a detailed plan for every step of your pregnancy, delivery and beyond. Your family’s care will also be supported by a team of expert social workers and psychologists who can offer emotional, logistical and financial counseling support. This coordinated, holistic care helps your family know exactly what to expect, while also ensuring the healthiest possible future for you and your baby.
