What is a high risk pregnancy doctor called?

You should ask your regular OB-GYN to refer you to a maternal-fetal medicine doctor if there is even a minor doubt. Don't try to self-manage or rely on general advice when it comes to high-risk situations. Better to get checked by a specialist early on.

We had to consult a perinatologist, which is just another name for a high-risk pregnancy doctor. My advice is to keep all your scan reports organized in one file from day one because they check everything very minutely. Also, don't miss any of those extra Doppler scans they prescribe.

My doctor referred me to an MFM specialist during my seventh month because of sudden BP spikes. Please don't ignore any advice to see one, as they handle complex issues much better than regular gynecologists. It's always best to be under their guidance if your doctor suggests it.

Beta, in our days we just called them senior doctors, but today they have specialized perinatologists. Don't worry at all; these doctors are highly trained to handle even the trickiest situations. Trust them, keep your mind calm, and eat well.
