Department of Fetal Medicine
Fetal medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on managing health concerns of the mother and fetus prior to, during, and shortly after pregnancy.
We have a team of obstetricians, pediatric surgeons, interventional radiologists, haematologists, anaesthetists, midwives, radiologists, psychologists, who help in bringing down the complications while delivering babies.
At our fetal medicine unit, both the mother and the fetus get specialized care where high-risk pregnancies are converted into normal pregnancies.
Our well-trained competent teams of professionals can co-ordinate pregnancy-related issues with all expertise put together, providing total and absolute care.
There are many reasons why women experience complications during pregnancy. These reasons caused by medical and surgical disorders include,
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Pre-eclampsia (toxaemia)
- Diabetes
- Thyroid disorders
- Kidney disease
- Gastrointestinal disease
- Infectious diseases
Healthy women may also need to see an MFM sub-specialist.
- Pregnant with multiple babies (twins, triplets, or more)
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
- Suspected fetal growth restriction (baby not growing properly)
- Evidence of possible birth defects
