Maternal-Fetal Medicine, sometimes called perinatology, involves providing specialized care for all types of complications of pregnancy, including women who have serious illnesses. These illnesses may be either in association with, or as the result of pregnancy. Care is also provided for pregnancies in which there is a suspected or established fetal abnormality, and the practice provides diagnostic, therapeutic and counseling services, including genetic consultations. Invasive fetal therapy is also performed, in collaboration with specialists at the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and the Fetal Concerns Center of Wisconsin.
The team is staffed by Medical College of Wisconsin physicians, who are board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology, and most of whom have undergone additional board certification in Maternal-Fetal Medicine. Services provided are typically in conjunction with those of your primary obstetrician/gynecologist or family physician. In addition, a High Risk Obstetric Clinic (IHROB) also provides continuity care for those patients with more complicated maternal and fetal issues. This clinic is staffed by both Maternal-Fetal Medicine physicians as well as a specialized Certified Nurse Midwife and senior resident physicians.
