What Is Maternal Fetal Medicine?

A maternal fetal medicine (MFM) physician is an expert in the diagnosis and management of both maternal and fetal complications of pregnancy. An MFM subspecialist has completed 4 years of an OB/Gyn residency followed by 2-3 years of specialty training in MFM. This training also prepares us to perform complex procedures and ultrasound examinations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Q: Who is a high risk patient?

    A: A pregnancy can be considered high risk either because of maternal issues or concerns with the unborn baby. Some examples of high risk maternal conditions include maternal age over 35, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune diseases such as lupus, kidney problems, blood clotting problems, obesity or a prior pregnancy with complications such as early birth, preeclampsia or pregnancy loss. Issues with the unborn baby can also lead to a high risk pregnancy such as abnormalities, multiple gestations, abnormal growth, or a genetic problem.
  • Q: Can I refer myself to SCMFM?

    A: Our goal is to work with you and your primary provider during your pregnancy. We request that you work through your provider for an appointment in our office. If you have questions about this please call us at 719-622-3442.
  • Q: Do you deliver babies?

    A: We have extensive experience managing complicated pregnancies and delivering babies. However, our goal is to provide diagnostic services such as ultrasound examinations, outline a plan of care if indicated and support your physician in performing your delivery.
  • Q: Do you do 3D ultrasound?

    A: Yes. We have state of the art ultrasound equipment and experienced ultrasound technicians performing your ultrasound. We will attempt to obtain a 3D image and provide this for you. Please understand this may not always be possible due to the position of the baby, the size of the mother or if the pregnancy is far along.
