Maternal-Fetal Medicine
The decision to have a child is a milestone in every woman's life.
At UK HealthCare, we offer the most comprehensive obstetrical care in
the state. We have the ability to deliver
routine prenatal care,
high-risk obstetrical consultation,
prenatal ultrasound diagnosis,
Down's syndrome screening,
genetic counseling, diabetic counseling, and fetal monitoring in one convenient location.
Sometimes complications occur during pregnancy. Our maternal-fetal
medicine physicians are available for you and your baby's needs.
We specialize in taking care of pregnant patients who have other
medical problems such as
diabetes,
hypertension,
infectious
diseases, and genetic diseases. We also specialize in diagnosing,
managing, and treating fetal problems such as fetal anomalies,
preterm
labor, premature rupture of membranes,
fetal growth disorders, and
multi-fetal pregnancies.
Our maternal-fetal medicine physicians are available to all
obstetricians in Kentucky. We offer consultation services,
amniocentesis,
chorionic villus sampling,
first trimester Down's syndrome screening, and complete
obstetrical ultrasound services.
When it is time to deliver your baby, our
birthing center
has an obstetrician, anesthesiologist, and pediatrician in the center at
all times for you and your baby's needs. When your baby needs
advanced care, the
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the only level III NICU in the region,
will send their staff to attend your delivery.
