The Fetal Medicine Unit provides care for women with complex or high-risk pregnancies who require specialised care for either them or their baby.
Only women with identified risk factors in their pregnancy or those who have had complications in a previous pregnancy will be referred to this service.
You will be cared for by specialist doctors, sonographers and a designated midwife who will provide continuity of care during your pregnancy. During your labour and birth, you will be cared for by a team of midwives and medical staff within the Birthing Suite.
If you live in the ACT, Queanbeyan or Jerrabomberra, you’ll receive home visits from a midwife following your discharge from hospital.
This service is offered by Centenary Hospital for Women and Children.
We have more detailed information in our services and clinics section about the Fetal Medicine Unit.
