Specialties and Pregnancy Care Approach
Maternal-fetal medicine supports patients whose pregnancies involve added medical or fetal risks. An appointment may include a detailed health and pregnancy history, targeted ultrasound, laboratory testing, fetal growth assessment, or review of earlier imaging and genetic screening results.
Dr. Adam may work with the patient’s regular obstetrician, cardiologist, genetic counselor, neonatologist, or another specialist. The care plan depends on the pregnancy stage, maternal condition, fetal findings, and risk of complications. Monitoring may become more frequent when concerns involve fetal growth, blood pressure, placental function, diabetes, or multiple babies. The goal is to identify changes early and coordinate safe pregnancy and delivery planning.
