MFM - Prenatal Diagnostic Center (PDC)

Providing Information and Support

The Prenatal Diagnostic Center at University of California, San Francisco Medical Center (UCSF) provides comprehensive counseling, screening, and diagnostic testing for fetal defects. The decision to make use of these services in unique for each woman and her partner. As a result, we are committed to providing the information and support that patients need to make the choices that are right for them.

MFM: High-Risk Pregnancies

Every pregnant couple looks forward to the birth of a healthy newborn. For the great majority of women, pregnancy follows a fairly routine course. However, some women may have medical difficulties and challenges related to their health or the health of their fetus during their nine months of pregnancy. These women experience what is called a “high-risk” pregnancy.

MFM: Low-Risk Pregnancies

The majority of pregnancies are considered low-risk. This means that there are no active complications and that there are no maternal or fetal factors that place the pregnancy at increased risk for complications. The obstetrical care providers at UCSF care for many patients with low-risk pregnancies. Both physicians and certified nurse midwives provide this care to patients. A physician or midwife may also perform the delivery.
