UAB St. Vincent’s Birmingham Birthing Suites

At the UAB St. Vincent’s Birmingham Birthing Suites, our obstetrics/gynecology (OB/GYN) doctors provide care before, during, and after your pregnancy. Our care team provides personalized support and respects your preferences for your birthing experience.

Every appointment with your doctor starts with a conversation. We listen, explain, and then provide expert care. If you need advanced care, we can connect you with one of our maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialists.

Having your baby in our Birthing Suites also means that you have access to our many experienced pediatricians, pediatric specialists, and emergency pediatric care providers at UAB St. Vincent’s Birmingham.

Maternal-fetal medicine specialists

Some pregnancies have difficulties that lead them to being classified as high-risk. If this is the case, your OB/GYN may refer you to our perinatal care services and an MFM specialist.

Throughout your pregnancy, you’ll be surrounded by a highly skilled multispecialty care team. With early and regular prenatal care and monitoring, you’ll have ongoing guidance and support. Your MFM specialist listens to understand your preferences and concerns and works together closely as a team with you and your OB/GYN doctor.

Our MFM specialists provide advanced diagnostic tests and care during your pregnancy, to help manage conditions and provide services such as:

• Birth abnormalities
• Carrying multiples
• Gestational diabetes
• High blood pressure
• High-risk pregnancies
• Neonatal intensive care, in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
• Preeclampsia
• Transabdominal cerclage (TAC) procedure, used to help prevent miscarriage
