maternal-fetal medicine
Maternal-fetal medicine is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the health of pregnant women and their unborn babies. It involves monitoring and managing high-risk pregnancies, ensuring both the mother and fetus receive appropriate care throughout the pregnancy.
Doctors in this field, known as maternal-fetal medicine specialists, work closely with obstetricians and other healthcare providers. They use advanced techniques, such as ultrasounds and genetic testing, to identify potential complications early. Their goal is to promote healthy outcomes for both mothers and their children during pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
