Understanding your care

What is Maternal-Fetal Medicine?

Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) — also known as high-risk obstetrics — is a subspecialty of Obstetrics and Gynaecology focused on caring for mothers with medical or pregnancy complications, and babies with conditions identified before birth.

An MFM specialist is an obstetrician with advanced training in high-risk pregnancy management, fetal ultrasound, prenatal diagnosis, and complex maternal medical conditions in pregnancy.
