The Maternal Fetal Medicine Program is a division within
the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Eastern Virginia Medical
School. Our Maternal Fetal Medicine program includes a Prenatal Diagnosis
and Genetics Program, a Diabetes in Pregnancy
Program, an HIV in Pregnancy Program,
a Teenage Pregnancy Program, a Maternal
Transport Program, and a Perinatal
Research Program.
Our Maternal Fetal Medicine program offers care for a variety of high risk pregnancy conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and HIV. Other services include prenatal and postnatal nutritional counseling, and fetal diagnosis. Our staff includes specialists that are board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and maternal fetal medicine. Our program does not provide obstetrical/gynecological care except in high risk situations where we work in concert with the referring obstetrician.
The Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine provides the following definition for a Maternal Fetal specialist: "A Maternal Fetal medicine specialist is an obstetrician/gynecologist who has completed two to three years of additional training and formal education and clinical experience. MFM specialists have advanced knowledge of the obstetrical, medical, genetic,and surgical complications of pregnancy and their effects on both the mother and the fetus."
Our site includes extensive pregnancy educational information, patient brochures, and current treatment recommendations for many conditions. All information is provided for educational purposes. Your health care professional should always be consulted for specific treatment recommendations. <
