During a complicated pregnancy different conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes may require more, and even around-the-clock, attention.
The Antepartum Unit at SSM St. Mary’s has dedicated rooms for moms that require this special care. Here, physicians use fetal monitors to keep an eye on Baby’s progress and monitor uterine contractions.
Physicians who specialize in high-risk pregnancy are available 24 hours a day, and an obstetrician is always on the Labor and Delivery Unit to respond to any needs.
