  • Suspected fetal growth restriction (baby not growing)

  • Oligohydramnios (low fluid) or polyhydramnios (too much fluid)

  • Abnormal antenatal serum screening with an increased risk/suspicion of a genetic abnormality or neural tube defect/ spina bifida

  • Genetic disorders or baby born with birth defects or genetic syndrome

  • Cervical insufficiency (pregnancy losses at 18-20 weeks)

  • Preterm labor and delivery (early dilation or early delivery)

  • Premature rupture of membranes (water breaks too early)

  • Early pregnancy losses, miscarriages, or stillbirth (baby who died late before birth)

We also offer pregnant patients the ability to undergo diagnostic or therapeutic procedures during pregnancy, such as:

  • Comprehensive ultrasound, including diagnostic 3D/4D imaging

  • Prenatal diagnostic procedures including genetic amniocentesis

  • Therapeutic procedures including amnioreduction (when there is too much fluid around the baby), intrauterine fetal transfusion (when the baby has anemia), or fetal shunt procedures (when there is extra fluid in or around the baby’s internal organs)

  • Cervical cerclage (a stitch closing the cervix)
