Our clinical teams work together with specialists in maternal fetal medicine to provide care for our patients with high-risk problems in pregnancy. These specialists can perform chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis, advanced ultrasound, and Doppler flow studies.
A pregnancy may be considered a high risk pregnancy if there are any concerns related to the mother or the baby. These can include medical problems that the mother may have prior to becoming pregnant or problems that develop over the course of the pregnancy. We have a combined total of over 75 years of taking care of high risk pregnancies. Each of these pregnancy complications require an individualized plan of care. Many problems will be managed in conjunction with perinatologists, specialists in fetal and maternal problems in pregnancy.
As patients age from 35 to 50 years old, their risk for Down syndrome and other genetic problems steadily increase. We offer noninvasive screening using ultrasound and blood work to detect up to 99% of all Down syndrome pregnancies.
Twins, triplets, etc. have increased risks for premature labor, fetal growth abnormalities.
Separation of the placenta (abruption); placenta previa – where the placenta is covering the cervix, causing it to be more fragile; early contractions (premature labor).
Amniotic sac ruptures or leaks, putting the baby at risk for infection or early delivery.
All pregnancies are screened for diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes can result in accelerated fetal growth (macrosomia). Dietary counseling will be recommended.
Increased risks for inadequate growth which may result in a recommendation for a medically indicated early delivery. We offer a combination of testing for fetal growth and fetal well-being.
We offer comprehensive testing for evaluation of all known causes.
