Maternity and Childbirth Services

Most pregnancies and deliveries are healthy and without complication, but some women experience high risk conditions or develop complications during pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum. The term "high risk" is also often given to women who are expecting multiples, or who have medical conditions such as diabetes, chronic hypertension or asthma.

Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialists

St. Luke's partners with the nation’s leading multispecialty telemedicine physician group, Access TeleCare, to bring maternal-fetal medicine specialists to our patients. Through the partnership, St. Luke's obstetricians and maternity providers can connect with an Access TeleCare board-certified maternal-fetal medicine specialist via secure, high-resolution technology in minutes. Our on-site clinicians have 24/7 access to the highest level of consultation to diagnose and treat women with high-risk pregnancies and those experiencing complex deliveries.

Maternal-Fetal Medicine Outpatient Clinic

In St. Luke's maternal-fetal medicine outpatient clinic, Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialists work closely with your OB-GYN and provide consultations and co-management from pre-conception counseling to close monitoring during a complex pregnancy.

St. Luke's uses telehealth visits to connect patients with MFM specialists remotely. With this option, our on-site clinicians have immediate access to the highest level of consultation and our patients receive the most advanced diagnosis and treatment.
