Fetal medicine specialists cater to mother-to-be in the high-risk category, who have had a history of chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, kidney complications, blood disorders, amongst others. They also work closely with mothers-to-be who may be at the potential risk of developing pregnancy-related complications such as – multiple fetuses, preterm delivery, pre-eclampsia and so on. All of the above conditions make the growing baby within the womb susceptible to chromosomal or congenital abnormalities, maternal disease, infections, genetic diseases and growth restriction. Each of these conditions are identified and addressed by fetal medicine experts prior to the birth of a baby.
