"Bad bedside manner. My first time meeting her, was a video call and she was filling in for my usual high risk doctor. After 2 minutes of talking to me, she suggested I be hospitalized for a few days because she thought I had preeclampsia due to a high BP reading in the office that day. My file clearly states that I have labile high blood pressure due to a clinical environment (white coat syndrome) so my bp during my visit was normal for me. Urine sample had no protein, bp readings at home were all 110/65 or under and at 8 months pregnant during a pandemic she wanted to hospitalize me even though I had no symptoms whatsoever. I said absolutely not and instead she sent me for immediate blood work. My blood work came back the next day and she never followed up with my results. My father in law is a retired cardiologist and said my results were all perfect. No preeclampsia. She got me so worked up and freaked out and then never followed up with me about the results of my blood work. It was an awful experience. I do not recommend this doctor. She does not listen to you and takes a very extreme approach. "

What is Maternal and Fetal Medicine?

Maternal and fetal medicine (also called perinatology) is the specialty devoted to caring for pregnant women and their unborn babies during a pregnancy where there are complications. The goal of this specialty is to reduce stress for the mother and to increase the chances of safely delivering a healthy baby.

In most cases, pregnancy takes place without any problems. There are a few cases, however, where health problems require extra monitoring, testing, and more training than a regular ob/gyn might have. These specialized ob/gyns are perinatologists.

There are many different issues that might cause a patient to be referred to a maternal and fetal medicine specialist. Some of the issues include:

Advanced maternal age (over 35)
Recurrent miscarriages
Premature rupture of membranes, or 'water breaking' too early
Congenital disorders that may impact birth
Multiples (twins, triplets, or higher)
Health issues in the mother, including chronic illness (diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, etc.) and infectious disease (hepatitis, HIV)

Services offered by maternal and fetal medicine specialists vary depending on the nature of the concern, but they may include prenatal testing, ultrasound, or diagnostic screening. It is common for a patient to see a perinatologist several times during their pregnancy but for their own obstetrician to deliver the baby. Perinatologists typically do not deliver babies, although they are available for consult if needed.
