The Maternal-Fetal Medicine Program (MFM) at Massachusetts General Hospital provides obstetric subspecialty care to families with complicated or high-risk pregnancies. Complications in pregnancy can arise for many reasons, including:
Our Maternal-Fetal Medicine providers offer comprehensive obstetric care and can also work in consultation with the patient’s primary obstetric provider to assist in management of specific issues. Our work with other specialists across Mass General to provide interdisciplinary care and expertise is central to our approach. This allows us to provide comprehensive care to women and their families before, during and after pregnancy.
Our subspecialist maternal-fetal physicians have in-depth expertise in all areas of high-risk obstetrics, as well as the skills and experience to treat critically ill women and perform the most complex prenatal and childbirth-related procedures.
We care for women with all kinds of pregnancy complications. Some of the more common conditions we treat are:
Our maternal-fetal medicine subspecialists provide comprehensive or consultative specialty care to families with complicated or “high-risk” pregnancies, whether due to the mother’s medical history, a complication arising in pregnancy, or a fetal complication.
The research of the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Division addresses a broad range of clinical and translational topics affecting the care of pregnant women.
Our research is carried out in the Deborah Kelly Center and the Vincent Center for Reproductive Biology.
We are committed to providing the highest quality high-risk obstetrical care in a patient-centered environment, while contributing to the academic field through research and teaching.
The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Mass General has advanced the science and the quality of care for women since 1891.
We provide state-of-the-art, individualized care.
Mass General is the #1 Research Hospital in America and recognized in 14 specialties assessed by U.S. News & World Report.
The MFM Fellowship provides a broad education in all aspects of maternal-fetal medicine and trains graduates to become leaders in the field..
A new team research effort seeks to shed light on how mothers pass immunity to their babies during pregnancy and lactation.
Many new parents are currently experiencing the significant shortage of infant formula that will likely take months before it is fully resolved. But in the meantime, parents and caregivers still need to find safe and healthy human milk or formula to feed their babies.
Allison Bryant Mantha, MD, MPH, helped to develop a proposal aimed at closing the gap in obstetric outcomes (including maternal morbidity, rate of cesarean deliveries among first time mothers and breastfeeding) for women at risk of adverse outcomes.
It is difficult to advise a woman about the safety of medications in pregnancy since there might be long-term drug effects of which we are unaware. Each woman has to weigh the benefits versus the risks.
After a trip to the Philippines, Blake Rainie Slack, CNM, was so inspired by the national policy work in women’s and family health being done by the midwives there that she decided to change careers when she returned to the US. She has now been a midwife for 13 years.
When Colleen became pregnant in 2020, every twinge of pain filled her with anxiety. She had been cared for by a local midwife during her first pregnancy, but wanted extra reassurance given what she had been through. Find out how Mass General was there for her.
