Level III NICU
The specialized clinicians in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at our local hospitals across Texas make it their goal to provide parents with the information they need to understand their baby's condition, possible treatments and how they can best help.

Maternal-fetal medicine
Our Maternal Fetal Medicine physician team consists of fellowship trained specialists who care for women with medical complications detected prior to or during pregnancy for their unborn babies. Your OBGYN may refer you to our Maternal Fetal Medicine team if:
- You have a chronic medical condition that places you at increased risk during pregnancy, such as diabetes or hypertension.
- You develop a complication during pregnancy such as preterm labor or preeclampsia
- You have a multiple gestation (twins, triplets, etc)
- If your unborn baby has a congenital anomaly or genetic condition.
We know pregnancy can be scary at times, especially when there are complications, but our Maternal Fetal Medicine team is dedicated to ensuring the absolute best care for you and your unborn baby.

Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorder
Baylor Scott & White All Saints is proud to have been designated as the first Level IV Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorder (PASD) facility in Tarrant County. Placenta accreta spectrum disorder occurs when the placenta abnormally grows into the wall of the uterus. It is associated with an increased risk of hemorrhage and preterm delivery. Our multidisciplinary PASD team is led by specialized surgeons with expertise in PASD who work alongside Maternal Fetal Medicine specialists, dedicated Obstetric Anesthesiologists, and a highly skilled team of nurses and operating room staff. This team works together on a regular basis to ensure the best possible outcomes for women with this life-threatening condition.

Take precautions
The CDC recommends that pregnant women take the same preventative measures as the general public to avoid infection, including:
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
- Avoid close contact with other people
- Clean and disinfected frequently touched surfaces daily, including doorknobs, light switches, handles, toilets, faucets, etc.
-
Stay in touch with your OBGYN
You may also be worried about your upcoming prenatal appointments and classes. Be sure and check with your physician about what to expect from your visit and where to go.
If you have a high-risk pregnancy, whether you're having multiples or because of another health condition, it's especially important to talk to your doctor about how your appointments may be modified during this time. You should always feel confident and comfortable with your care plan. We will continue to make sure you receive necessary prenatal care, ultrasounds and other surveillance with the appropriate precautions as needed.
If you are COVID-19 positive or exhibit any symptoms, please reach out to your OBGYN as soon as possible to determine the best plan of care for you and your baby.

Take care of yourself
Remember to take care of your body by sticking to healthy habits that are good for you and your baby, including:
- Eat healthy, nutritious meals.
- Exercise daily, being mindful to stay at home or at least 6 feet away from other people while out in public.
- Get plenty of sleep. The recommended amount for adults is seven to nine hours.
- Stay connected with family and friends by phone or online. They'll want to know how you are and connecting with loved ones can help relieve any anxiety you're feeling.
- Talk with your doctor regarding your fears and worries related to childbirth.
- Avoid overconsuming news reports and social media focused on COVID-19. Be sure to rely on trustworthy sources of information, including the CDC and ACOG, as well as the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine.
