Perinatologist vs. High Risk OB vs. Maternal Fetal Medicine

[Midnight78]

Hi. I need some help. I'm very cautiously pregnant after two missed miscarriages, one at 6 weeks, the other at 9 weeks, 4 days (after excellent betas and , Turners).

I measured 8 weeks, 5 days yesterday. With this pregnancy, my betas have been very, very high. My OB knows that I am a complete and utter mess over this pregnancy. I am going to see a MD who specializes in Maternal Fetal Medicine for my nuchal test and a consultation. I'm wondering what the difference is between a Perinatologist, High Risk OB, and Maternal Fetal Medicine?

THANKS!! I really hope this is my baby. I'm a complete mess every hour of everyday.

I agree about visiting the high risk board.
I saw Maternal Fetal Medicine for my pregnancy. The doctor I saw there was a perinatologist. He specializes in high risk pregnancies. I would say the names are all interchangeable.

Good Luck with your pregnancy!
