Maternal Fetal Medicine
Maternal-Fetal Medicine is a branch of medicine that treats women with high-risk pregnancies. At SIU Medicine, our specialists provide clinical care for women and their babies throughout the region. We also help advance our field through research and medical education.
Welcome to the Department of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at SIU Medicine. Our multidisciplinary team provides the highest quality care for women from central and southern Illinois facing complicated or high-risk pregnancies.
Individuals who benefit from Maternal-Fetal Medicine include pregnant women experiencing gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, pre-term labor, fetal growth problems, previous miscarriages and multiple babies including twins and triplets. Our providers support women before, during, and after pregnancy with comprehensive and modern services including advanced ultrasound imaging and genetic testing.
We’re also committed to educating OB-GYN residents and supporting research efforts to improve diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for pregnant women and their infants. The faculty members also work closely with the South-Central Illinois Perinatal Center at HSHS St. John's Children's Hospital.
