The UAB Division of Maternal and Fetal Medicine is one of the nation’s top programs of its kind, providing high-risk obstetric care with the most advanced diagnostic services and treatments for women with special pregnancy concerns, including advanced age, multiple fetuses, diabetes, complicated pregnancy history or other medical conditions.

UAB obstetricians are specialists and subspecialists in their field, and provide the highest level of care for our patients. All of UAB’s high-risk care physicians hold board certifications in both obstetrics and gynecology and maternal-fetal medicine. One is also board-certified in genetics. Doctors at UAB are nationally recognized experts in caring for women with complicated pregnancies. The team also includes a personal labor nurse and three anesthesia specialists for cesarean delivery and epidural care.

Our Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) physicians and neonatologists are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our high-tech care includes first-trimester diagnosis, prenatal genetic counseling and testing, and the most advanced ultrasound and fetal imaging capabilities, including 4D Ultrasound technology, which gives you a detailed image of your baby’s face. Our physicians can manage a wide range of pregnancy complications, including diabetes, hypertension, Rh sensitization, vascular disease, multiple births, high blood pressure, heart, lung, and kidney problems, and premature delivery risk.

UAB’s Maternal Fetal Medicine Program is one of the largest in the country. We are one of only 14 centers nationwide and the only one in Alabama to participate in the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units Network. This partnership has produced groundbreaking achievements in high-risk pregnancy research.
