Centro de atención de medicina materno-fetal, Florida
Expert Help Before Babies Are Born
The Nemours Children's Center for Fetal Care provides care for babies of moms-to-be in Central Florida who are facing high-risk pregnancies. We perform fetal testing and can diagnose many conditions before birth. An early diagnosis means our team of experts can start treatment the minute your baby is born.
We offer mother-baby care, called maternal-fetal medicine. We also offer perinatal care, which is care immediately before and after birth. We have specialists in each of these areas.
We work with your doctors to co-manage care before, during and after your baby’s birth. Our clinicians can provide care in both English and Spanish. An extension of the care team, we help moms and delivery teams be better prepared to give babies the best start in life.
