Maternal fetal medicine consultations

There are many reasons you may need to see a Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist. It may be because you have a complex pregnancy, or you may have a family history of a condition or a genetic abnormality, or you may have had a previous baby with a medical problem. Or sadly, a routine ultrasound in pregnancy has detected a potential problem with the baby, amniotic fluid or placenta.

A Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist, like Dr Marlow, is specially trained to be able to give you the information and diagnosis that you need to manage your pregnancy.

Fetal medicine services offer high level ultrasound diagnosis with specialised ultrasound machines. We can guide you on what testing may be appropriate for your situation and this may include chorionic villous sampling (CVS) or an amniocentesis.

We are here to help you and your family through your pregnancy with knowledge, kindness and expertise.
