High-risk obstetrics, also known as maternal-fetal medicine or perinatology, is a specialized field within obstetrics that focuses on the care of pregnant individuals and their unborn babies when there are potential complications or medical conditions that could impact the health of either the mother or the fetus. High-risk pregnancies require close monitoring, specialized medical interventions, and often involve a multidisciplinary team of healthcare providers.
It's important for individuals with high-risk pregnancies to receive care from a qualified maternal-fetal medicine specialist or a healthcare team experienced in managing high-risk pregnancies.
