Black patients and Maternal-Fetal Medicine
Black MFM specialists: high-risk pregnancy care. Black pregnancies carry 3 times higher maternal mortality risk, so MFM care is essential for high-risk cases.
Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialists are OB-GYNs with three additional years of training in complicated pregnancies: preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, placental disorders, cervical insufficiency, fetal anomalies. Given that Black birthing people face 3 times higher mortality and 2 times higher severe maternal morbidity (CDC, 2023), MFM involvement is often critical for pregnancies complicated by chronic hypertension, diabetes, or prior pregnancy losses. Only about 3 percent of MFMs are Black.
When MFM is involved
- Chronic hypertension or diabetes pre-pregnancy
- Prior preeclampsia or HELLP syndrome
- Prior preterm birth or second-trimester loss
- Multiples (twins, triplets)
- Fetal anomaly on ultrasound
- Age 35+ with other risk factors
Advocacy prompts
- Given my history, should I be on low-dose aspirin from 12 weeks?
- What's my preeclampsia-prevention plan?
- How will we monitor baby's growth, and at what interval?
