Fetal therapy, also known as fetal treatment, is a branch of fetal medicine that involves the diagnosis and treatment of fetal abnormalities.It includes medical interventions—such as medications given to the mother to cross the placenta and reach the fetus—and surgical interventions to help an unborn baby that might die or be disabled if no action was taken.

Issues that require fetal therapy are usually discovered during routine prenatal exams. Your primary ob-gyn can identify any concerns and refer you to Fetal Care Center for further exams and consultation.
