High-Risk Pregnancy Care

If you experience complications during pregnancy or have a pre-existing condition that raises your risks, your OB/GYN may refer you to the team of maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) physicians at ECU Health. Here, we offer a wide range of tests and treatments to help diagnose and manage even the most complex conditions and complications.

You may need specialized care if you:

  • Are carrying a baby that may have a genetic or medical problem
  • Have a history of pregnancy-related complications like preeclampsia or gestational diabetes
  • Have a history of preterm (premature) birth or stillbirth
  • Have a condition that can make pregnancy risky, like high blood pressure or an autoimmune disorder
  • Are carrying multiples, such as twins or triplets
  • Will be 35 years old or older at the time of delivery

Throughout your pregnancy, we will work closely with your OB/GYN to manage prenatal care and coordinate with any specialists – like endocrinologists, pediatric surgeons, pediatric cardiologists and more – who will care for you or your baby.

Why ECU Health?

We provide expert care for even the most complex conditions and complications.

MFM physicians at ECU Health excel in the diagnosis and management of conditions like:
