Diabetes in Pregnancy

Diabetes in pregnancy can have major consequences if not addressed.  With uncontrolled diabetes, the chances of birth defects, as well as other health issues for both the baby and the mother, can develop. Timely and efficient management of the disease can help prevent these complications.

With our multidisciplinary team of maternal-fetal medicine experts, OBGYN doctors, endocrinologists, nursing staff, and social workers, we offer specialized and coordinated care for patients with diabetes before, during, and after pregnancy.  
 
We provide the following services throughout your pregnancy:
