Advanced care for you and baby

Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) provides specialized care for high-risk pregnancies, led by expert perinatologists who focus on ensuring the health and well-being of both mother and baby. At Corewell Health, we offer the largest MFM program in Michigan, delivering advanced care tailored to the unique needs of high-risk pregnancies. Our comprehensive approach includes collaboration with OB/GYNs, genetic counselors, and NICUs, ensuring your pregnancy is supported by a team of specialists every step of the way.

Who needs maternal-fetal medicine?

Maternal-fetal medicine is crucial for women with pre-existing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, as these can complicate pregnancy. It's also vital for managing complications such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, preterm labor, and multiple pregnancies like twins or triplets. MFM specialists provide care for fetal abnormalities, providing specialized interventions when needed. Additionally, women of advanced maternal age (35+) benefit from the expertise of MFM specialists to manage higher pregnancy risks and ensure the health of both mother and baby.
