Making Your Delivery Special
Welcome to Maternal-Fetal Medicine Associates at UConn Health Center. We work with your obstetrician to ensure the healthiest pregnancy possible for you and your baby.
Our evaluation and management of high-risk pregnancies includes comprehensive care and medical services for mothers and their unborn babies. Our maternal-fetal medicine physicians (perinatologists) have undergone advanced training in fetal evaluation and in-utero diagnostic and treatment procedures. They have advanced training in the evaluation and management of mothers with medical
conditions that may impact or be affected by the pregnancy.

Phone: 860-679-3387
These appointments can be up to 60 minutes, with some being longer.
You may bring someone to be an interpreter for you. Federal law requires we get your permission to discuss your personal health information in front of this person.
If you are late for an appointment, it may be necessary to reschedule due to other scheduled appointments.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to determine if your infant is developing as expected. You may be referred due to a current or past medical or obstetric problem or as the result of other screening tests that require further evaluation of your baby. You will be seen by a sonographer and a physician.
Amniocentesis. A physician will remove a sample of amniotic fluid (baby’s urine) from the sac around the baby. The sample can be used for diagnostics (test for genetic abnormalities, maturity of the baby’s lungs, infections, anemia), or to treat excess fluid around the baby.
Fetal Well-Being Tests (FWB) are used to determine how well your baby is being supported by the placenta. Common FWB tests are the non-stress test (NST) and bio-physical profile (BPP). NST uses a monitor to record the fetal heart rate and its response to fetal movement. BPP uses ultrasound to monitor fetal activities (movement, tone, breathing),
and assess amniotic fluid volume.
