High Risk Pregnancy

There are many factors that can lead to a high-risk pregnancy or delivery. If you or your baby need specialized care, you can rely on the experts at Baystate Health.

We provide comprehensive high-risk pregnancy and neonatal care. We also have the area’s only neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Baystate Medical Center.

Equally important, our team of board-certified nurses, doctors, and specialists also offers the experience and emotional support you need.

HIGH-QUALITY CARE FOR HIGH-RISK PREGNANCY

Your pregnancy may be considered high risk because of your age, previous problems with pregnancy, or a health condition. No matter what the cause, we’ll create a personalized plan to support your and your baby’s health.

Our multidisciplinary team of experts includes maternal-fetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, neonatal nurses, and reproductive medicine specialists.

Depending on your needs, a complicated pregnancy may require:

• More frequent prenatal visits
• Care from a maternal-fetal medicine specialist
• Genetic testing and counseling
• Pre-birth testing, including non-stress testing and amniotic fluid assessment
• Neonatal care
• A scheduled cesarean delivery (c-section)
