What Role Does ACOG Play in Maternal-Fetal Medicine?
Maternal-fetal medicine is a subspecialty that focuses on managing health concerns of the mother and fetus before, during, and shortly after pregnancy. ACOG's guidelines in this field are critical for pediatricians, as they often need to address conditions like gestational diabetes, preterm labor, and congenital anomalies. These guidelines help pediatricians prepare for potential health issues in newborns and provide appropriate care.
