Center for Fetal Care experts at Children’s Regional Hospital at Cooper provides comprehensive, coordinated support for families facing complex fetal and neonatal diagnoses.

Care for the mother-fetus pair is led by Cooper’s Maternal-Fetal Medicine team, in collaboration with neonatologists and pediatric subspecialists.  

When there is a concern about fetal health or well-being, Maternal-Fetal Medicine experts and our team bring together neonatal providers and pediatric subspecialists to support you and your family – before delivery, at birth, and beyond.

Coordinated Care for Complex Pregnancies

A maternal or fetal diagnosis can feel overwhelming. Our Center for Fetal Care experts are here to help guide you through next steps and connect you with the right specialists at the right time.

Our team can assist you and your family with:

  • Coordinating fetal and newborn infant care across specialties.
  • Providing counseling and education related to a specific fetal diagnosis.
  • Planning for medical care your baby may need after delivery.
  • Connecting families with appropriate support services.
  • Helping develop palliative care plans, when appropriate.

If your unborn baby has received a diagnosis that may benefit from additional discussion or consultation, please ask your treating obstetrician about a referral. We are here to support you.
