Fetal medicine is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the care and management of unborn babies, or fetuses, during pregnancy. It involves the use of advanced diagnostic techniques such as ultrasound, fetal echocardiography, and genetic testing to assess the health and development of the fetus. Fetal medicine specialists work closely with obstetricians to monitor pregnancies and provide interventions when necessary to optimize the health outcomes for both the mother and the baby. This field plays a crucial role in identifying and managing fetal abnormalities, birth defects, and complications that may arise during pregnancy, ultimately aiming to ensure the best possible outcome for the newborn and the family.
