What to know about Black Maternal-Fetal Medicine care in Bronx
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

What should I ask a MFM before working with them?
Ask whether they are accepting new patients, what insurance they accept, and whether they offer telehealth or in-person visits. It is also worth asking about their experience with conditions relevant to you, their communication style, and how they handle after-hours questions or urgent concerns.
