Emily Gregory, MD:
Maternal-fetal medicine encompasses a huge variety of different disciplines. We see patients at all stages of pregnancy and even pre-pregnancy to discuss different maternal complications or things that are going on with baby to make sure we have the best outcome for both mom and baby.
A high-risk pregnancy would be anything that makes risks higher for mom or for baby. We see moms who have a complicated history, such as chronic hypertension, diabetes or preexisting illnesses that increase her risk during pregnancy, or anything going on with a baby that increases the baby's risk of having a complication, having to be delivered early, or having something going on.
You get more comprehensive care when you're referred to a maternal-fetal medicine specialist. We're able to partner with the patient's OB and get the best outcome possible.
When people come to Baptist Health Louisville, they're going to get the highest level of care. We feel very strongly about that, from my wonderful manager to the providers and the sonographer. We're all on the same team, and you're going to be treated like family when you come here.
We take pride in making sure that we go the extra mile to get to know our patients. They're treated like I would want my sister to be treated or my mom to be treated. They get the best care that they can.
