Fetal Medicine

Fetal medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions in unborn babies, usually during pregnancy. Specialists in this field, called fetal medicine specialists or perinatologists, use advanced imaging techniques like ultrasounds to monitor fetal health, assess growth, and identify potential issues. They work closely with obstetricians to manage pregnancies with complications, provide guidance on prenatal care, and prepare for safe deliveries. The goal is to ensure the best possible outcomes for both the mother and the baby, addressing risks and improving health through targeted interventions when necessary.
