High-Risk Pregnancy Care

We collaborate closely with your primary obstetric provider by regularly sharing updates, images and test results. We encourage co-managed care when possible so you may deliver in your community. When needed, your obstetrician can transfer your care to our team.

If your baby needs special monitoring or tests, you will see the care team at the Reed Family Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital. Our high-risk obstetricians, genetic counselors, care coordinators and pediatric specialists provide care for your unique needs throughout your pregnancy. Some babies may need care in our Level IV NICU, which is the most advanced in the region. This means your baby won’t be transferred to another facility if they need higher level care.

When possible, we’re happy to meet with you through telehealth. This makes receiving expert care more convenient than ever before.

Providing care for a high-risk pregnancy requires a special set of skills, knowledge and expertise. Our team features doctors who are board certified in obstetrics and in gynecology and maternal-fetal medicine, with training and experience from leading institutions around the country. You may be experiencing a health-related issue that might affect your pregnancy, or your unborn child may have a medical issue that needs to be addressed prior to birth. In either case, you can be confident in knowing you will receive the very best treatment from doctors who have been specifically trained in managing complex pregnancies.

If your baby needs fetal diagnosis and care, our pediatric subspecialists will see you at the Reed Family Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic located inside Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital. Our high-risk obstetricians, genetic counselors, care coordinators and pediatric specialists provide care for your unique needs throughout your pregnancy. They’ll be right by your side for delivery too to help ensure your baby’s safety.

After delivery, if your baby needs care in our Level IV NICU, you can rest assured that we have the highest level of care available. You don’t need to worry about your baby being transferred to another facility for care. While you recover, you’ll be able to visit your new baby through the skybridge to Monroe Carell, our pediatric hospital. 

Each patient and pregnancy are unique, so their treatment should be too. We assemble a team dedicated to your care based on your specific needs. This may include specialists from endocrinology for diabetes, psychiatry for substance use or cardiology for pregnancy-related hypertension. We will coordinate any referrals to ensure you get the care you need.

We’re always looking for new and better ways to help ensure the health of both you and your baby. Our team is known worldwide for successfully developing and performing complex procedures, including in-utero spina bifida repairs. We participate in multicenter trials and research studies to continue providing the most advanced care possible.
