Maternal Fetal Medicine in Dubai – Gynecologist in Dubai

Maternal Fetal Medicine

Fetal medicine, or maternal-fetal medicine (MFM), is recommended by fetal medicine specialists such as obstetricians and gynecologist to manage a mother’s and her baby’s health complications before, during, and immediately after pregnancy.

Fetal medicine specialists have additional training and board certification in handling high-risk pregnancies.

Why is it needed?

Most pregnancies are fairly simple. However, some may convert to complex or high-risk pregnancies in progressing trimesters. Maternal-fetal medicines help to counter the complexity caused by pregnancy and keep both mother and fetus safe.
