The majority of pregnancies progress without complications, but there are instances where either the mother or her unborn baby may require specialized care for various reasons. Specialized care in fetal medicine becomes essential when the unborn baby presents abnormalities such as gastroschisis, or when the mother's medical conditions elevate the risk to the baby, as in the case of red cell antibodies or viral infections.
