Personalized Care for Expecting Mothers at Risk for Pregnancy-related Problems
Our specialists are OB/GYN physicians with advanced training and experience in caring for women with a high-risk pregnancy. If a fetal condition is diagnosed, our specialists work closely with Nationwide Children’s experts and your OB/GYN to explore your options and help develop a maternity care plan in advance for you and your baby to ensure the best possible outcome.
