Perinatology

Perinatology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the care of unborn babies and their mothers during high-risk pregnancies. It involves monitoring and managing potential complications before, during, and immediately after birth. Perinatologists, who are obstetricians with advanced training, work closely with expectant mothers to ensure the best possible outcomes for both the mother and the baby. This field combines various aspects of maternal-fetal medicine, including prenatal testing, managing existing health conditions, and providing necessary interventions to promote a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
