    This is from pre-eclampsia.org, basically they specialize in high risk pregnancies:

    A maternal-fetal medicine subspecialist is an OBGYN with 2 or 3 extra years of training to manage high risk pregnancy appropriate to your circumstances.

    The MFM is the greatest baby doctor out there!  The OB takes advice and direction from your MFM.  They rarely deliver babies but can.  They are awesome.  And they are also called Peri-neonatologists because they are the baby doctor for before the baby is born, as opposed to the Neonatologist in the NICU who is the baby doctor in the NICU.

    I credit my Peri-MFM with saving my boys lives.
