Maternal Fetal Medicine at Pennsylvania Hospital
Every pregnant couple wants to give birth to
a healthy child. Maternal fetal medicine specialists
at Pennsylvania Hospital passionately share that
goal and strive to help women experiencing medically
complicated pregnancies deliver healthy babies.
Pennsylvania Hospital has long been recognized
for its outstanding expertise in maternal fetal
medicine -- the management of pregnancy for women
experiencing medical complications. It is the
genuine caring and one-on-one approach that distinguishes
our maternal fetal medicine specialists from other
high-risk obstetric programs in the area.
We view our patients as active participants in
their care. As such, each woman is provided with
individualized education and information to help
her make the most appropriate choices for both
herself and her baby. Our practitioners can work
in consultation with primary care obstetricians
or follow you through your entire pregnancy.
Our Staff
Our practitioners believe in comprehensive care,
providing not only the latest in medical care,
but also understanding the emotional concerns
and stresses faced by these patients during pregnancy.
Women experiencing high-risk pregnancies go through
many emotions, veering from hope to fear, from
anxiety to excitement. With this in mind, our
patients receive compassionate, respectful care.
Pennsylvania Hospital maternal fetal medicine
specialists are involved in numerous clinical
trials offering the latest advances for management
of high-risk pregnancies. In particular, women
at risk for premature labor due to an incompetent
cervix benefit from the hospital's involvement
in clinical trials to evaluate the role of the
cervix during pregnancy as a predictor of premature
birth, and the assessment of new technologies
to prevent pre-term birth and pregnancy loss.
