The Fetal Medicine and Perinatal Ultrasound service provides specialised assessment, diagnosis, and monitoring for a wide range of conditions that may affect the baby during pregnancy. These include structural anomalies such as heart defects or spina bifida, chromosomal conditions like Down syndrome, and concerns around growth, twins or triplets, and placental health. The team also manages complex pregnancies involving infections, genetic conditions, or maternal health issues that may impact the baby. With expert care and advanced technology, the service ensures early detection and tailored support for the best possible outcomes.
