Maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialists, also known as perinatologists, manage high-risk pregnancies affected by complex maternal-fetal conditions. Maternal-fetal medicine is considered a subspecialty of obstetrics. MFM specialists undergo training that includes four years in obstetrics and gynecology residency after completing medical school. After OB/GYN residency, MFM specialists complete a three-year maternal-fetal medicine fellowship where they conduct clinical research and receive extensive training in fetal ultrasound, prenatal diagnosis and management of complex obstetrical and medical complications affecting pregnancy.

A pregnancy is considered high-risk when there is an increased chance of complications for a pregnant mother, baby or both. Potential pregnancy complications can develop due to a pre-existing condition or maternal-fetal complications caused by pregnancy. You may be referred to an MFM specialist if your pregnancy is impacted by the following:

• A pre-existing maternal health condition and you are pregnant or would like to become pregnant
• You have experienced a complication in a previous pregnancy
• You develop a complication that impacts your maternal health during or shortly after pregnancy
• Your baby or babies develop a complication or are diagnosed with a congenital anomaly during pregnancy
• You have experienced a complication in a previous pregnancy
• You are pregnant with multiples: twins, triplets, or more
• Advanced maternal age (AMA)
