Understanding Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM)
Baptist Health is proud to provide the only Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist in Central Alabama, bringing the highest standard of care in obstetrics to our patients. What is a Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) Specialist? An MFM specialist is an OBGYN physician who has completed additional years of education and training to serve high-risk pregnancy patients. If you are a good candidate for specialized maternal-fetal medicine, we will ensure you receive the most advanced care without traveling far from home.
Maternal Fetal Medicine can benefit patients who have certain high-risk pregnancies, including:
- Patients who have hypertension
- Patients with a history of previous miscarriages and/or previous problems during pregnancy
- Patients with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes or obesity
- Patients with unknown issues in their ultrasounds/scans
- Patients in the teenage pregnancy age range or who have advanced maternal-age pregnancies
Specialized Medical Services
In other cases where the baby may be the one who faces unforeseen circumstances, an MFM specialist can provide monitoring and treatments before birth to support babies until they are ready to arrive in the world. Our Services include:
- Obstetrical & Maternal-Fetal Medicine, ultrasound and consultations
- Reproductive Endocrinology consultations
- Genetic complications
Contact your provider to see if you are a candidate for our Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinics. A physician referral is required.
