Woman’s is uniquely equipped to treat your baby while still in the womb

If you’ve been diagnosed with a high-risk pregnancy by your OB/GYN, be assured that Woman’s Maternal Fetal Medicine specialists in Baton Rouge are your best choice for you and your baby.

Maternal Fetal Medicine (video) or Perinatology is an obstetrical subspecialist concerned with the care of the mother and fetus at higher-than-normal risk for complications. Treatment can include fetal surgery.

Fetal surgeries are highly complex procedures to repair birth defects before a baby is born. The goal is to intervene early and treat certain disabling and life-threatening birth defects during fetal development instead of after birth, and to offer new hope to families.

These delicate operations require the most expert care for both you and your unborn baby. We give your baby the best chance at a healthy start.
