High Risk Pregnancy Care with Williamson Health
Being told you’re having a high-risk pregnancy or that you have a medical complication that puts you at risk can be one of the most stressful conversations of your life. That’s where our expert team of perinatologists with Williamson Health Maternal-Fetal Medicine come in, guiding you and your baby with the highest quality of care every step of the way to ensure a successful pregnancy and a healthy newborn.
A high-risk pregnancy is one that requires special care because of a problem with the pregnancy itself, a preexisting maternal health condition, or a fetal birth defect or complication. Our maternal-fetal medicine specialists - who are board certified in both maternal-fetal medicine and obstetrics-gynecology - offer a range of high-risk pregnancy services to craft a personalized plan of care for you before and during your pregnancy and delivery.
Collaborating Care With Your Providers
Collaborating with your pre-existing care team, our experts work with women prior to and during pregnancy to provide ongoing monitoring of particular conditions. While conditions can be exasperated depending on various factors, we work with pediatrics, cardiology, surgery and anesthesia, among many others, to ensure a safe and healthy journey.
Conditions We Treat
Whether it’s an existing condition, a history of complications, maternal conditions, or anything else that could cause a risk during pregnancy, our experts are ready to have those conversations to help you navigate your journey. Some conditions that we specialize in working with are:
- Autoimmune disorders
- Blood disorders
- Chronic diseases
- Diabetes
- Genetic diseases
- Heart conditions
- High blood pressure
- History of:
- Cervical incompetence
