Maternal-Fetal Medicine

MultiCare Regional Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialists are obstetrician-gynecologists with advanced training and experience in the care of high-risk pregnancies. We care for women and families at risk for complications that may impact the health of the mother or the well-being of her unborn child.

Working very closely with your OB-GYN physician or family practice obstetrician we provide consultation and assisted management with every aspect of the pregnancy, delivery and post partum recovery period.

With more than 20 years experience, we are the regional referral center for Southwestern Washington accepting patient referrals for both out-patient evaluation and in-patient management.

What is a High Risk Pregnancy?

A pregnancy is “high risk” or complicated when the health of the mother or well-being of her unborn baby becomes a concern. There are many factors that may complicate a pregnancy. The mother’s age, chronic medical conditions or abnormalities in the growth and development of her fetus may all contribute to a high-risk pregnancy. If your pregnancy is considered high-risk, your OB practitioner may consider referring you to our service.
