Maternal Fetal Medicine Program
Added Reassurance
For pregnant women with complex conditions, an added level of reassurance.
Women who have obstetrical risk factors due to age, family history, or previous medical concerns have access to a Mass General maternal fetal medicine specialist at Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton.
Maternal fetal medicine specialists at Cooley Dickinson are available for office consultations for women who meet the criteria for high risk pregnancies. They offer detailed anatomical survey ultrasounds (level 2 ultrasounds) and consultation for high-risk pregnancies. Appointments are offered at the CDMG ObGyn & Midwifery practice’s hospital-based Northampton office.
Maternal fetal medicine specialists also act as liaisons between Mass General’s and Cooley Dickinson’s obstetrical departments. As a leader in diagnostic ultrasound, Mass General was among New England’s first hospitals to offer first-trimester screening for Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities.
