What Is Fetal Care?

Fetal care or fetal medicine focuses on diagnosing, managing and providing treatment for health concerns that a pregnant woman and the baby may experience before, during and immediately after pregnancy. It is important to start fetal care early to identify potential health risks and congenital conditions and prevent them as early as possible. Getting checked early also helps the doctor determine if the mother needs to be referred to a high-risk pregnancy doctor or if there are other things required to go through a safe labor and delivery.
