The Maternal Fetal Care Unit at The Moncton Hospital deals with high-risk pregnancies relating to maternal and fetal complications of pregnancy as well as prenatal diagnosis.
Biophysical profiles, a combination of an ultrasound and fetal monitoring, are performed by registered nurses. The profile provides the physician with a "score." This score contains important information that the physician uses to assess the well-being of the baby. The physician can then use this information to help plan the baby's delivery.
The unit is staffed by a maternal fetal medicine specialist, registered nurses and administrative support.
Appointments are made by physician referral only.
