Fetal Care Center
Compassionate Care for You and Your Baby – Before and After Birth
Our Fetal Care Center supports expectant families when concerns arise about a baby’s development during pregnancy by providing clear answers, compassionate care, and coordinated planning before and after birth.
At the Fetal Care Center, families are supported by a dedicated team of specialists working in close collaboration. This team may include maternal‑fetal medicine doctors, pediatric specialists, sonographers, neonatologists, nurses, genetic counselors, and social workers. Using advanced prenatal imaging and testing, the team helps identify a diagnosis and explains what it means in a way that families can understand.
We understand this can feel overwhelming, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. Alongside expert medical care, we’re here to provide steady and compassionate support. We encourage you to ask questions, share your concerns, and take the time you need to make the decisions that feel right for your family.
The Fetal Care Center partners closely with referring physicians and delivery hospitals to thoughtfully plan for your baby’s arrival. When specialized care is needed right after birth, we make sure the right experts are in place and ready to provide seamless, immediate support for your baby.
Above all, our Fetal Care Center is built around families. We help parents feel informed, supported, and confident throughout their pregnancy and beyond.

What to Expect at the Fetal Care Center
You will meet with a multi-disciplinary team based on your child’s diagnosis and anticipated needs. This team of specialists may include pediatric and maternal‑fetal medicine physicians, a neonatologist, specially trained sonographers, a genetic counselor, and care coordinator.
Your care team will take time to explain the diagnosis in clear, understandable language and answer your questions. We encourage families to share concerns and take part in care decisions.
If a condition is suspected or confirmed, we work closely with you and your obstetrician to create a personalized plan for pregnancy, delivery, and care after birth. This plan is designed to ensure the right specialists and resources are ready when your baby arrives.
When specialized care is needed after birth, delivery plans are coordinated so neonatal and pediatric specialists can begin care immediately. Our goal is to create a smooth, reassuring transition from pregnancy to newborn care, with support every step of the way.
We remain a resource for families throughout pregnancy and after delivery, helping coordinate follow‑up care and connecting you with support services as needed.
