4worldlovers:
At the Fetal-Maternal Center at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, we provide care for complex fetal conditions. When routine tests show the possibility of a medical problem, pregnant women come to our program for diagnosis and treatment.


We coordinate all the services you and your baby need in one convenient location. Our compassionate experts walk you through every treatment option so you can make the most informed, best choices for your family.

Multidisciplinary expertise: At the Fetal-Maternal Center, we gather every fetal-maternal expert and subspecialist you may need under one roof. Unlike other centers, we give you access to a large team of experts, so you don’t have to travel far for the right care. Our experts have deep knowledge and a wide scope of specialized practice that leads directly to improved outcomes.

Convenient, coordinated services: Your first step is connecting with a nurse care manager. This specialist serves as your point person throughout your treatment. Nurse care managers answer questions, provide support and coordinate every specialty appointment you may need. Many patients require care from at least two or more specialized doctors. Your nurse care manager coordinates all these services for you, so you can focus on your family.

Advanced prenatal diagnostic options: At the Fetal-Maternal Center, we use some of the most advanced diagnostic options available. We offer fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a highly specialized, rare test. Fetal imaging options like 3D ultrasound and fetal echocardiograms allow for more accurate pictures of a fetus, which helps our doctors provide correct prenatal diagnoses.

Counseling and mental health services: Parents may experience stress or worry about their baby’s treatment. Experts in the Division of Psychology provide counseling services in the FMC. We also provide free-of-charge teratogen counseling. Teratogen specialists help women understand the safety of specific environmental factors, such as taking medication or dyeing your hair while pregnant.

The Fetal-Maternal Center offers a range of services, from diagnostic testing to care coordination. Your treatment plan is unique, based on your individual risks, preferences and needs.

Every step of the way, a nurse care manager schedules all your appointments, answers questions and provides support. Find out more about what to expect at the Fetal-Maternal Center.

When you choose an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB-GYN) to be your partner through pregnancy and delivery, we’ll help you create a birth plan that fits your preferences. We respect and honor your plan–understanding that preferences and safety concerns can change throughout your pregnancy and right up to delivery day.

Developing a birth plan is easier with an OB-GYN who listens to you, understands you, and shares in your decision-making. Need help finding an OB to fit your personality and preferences? Take this list of questions with you to your first appointment to help you find an OB-GYN partner who’s right for you.

When you go into labor, you can expect the same level of supportive, compassionate, and safe care you’ve received throughout your pregnancy. We’ll respect your birth plan, and you’ll be able to choose when and if pain medication will be used. Your labor and delivery experience will be based on your preferences and what is safest for you and your baby at the time of delivery.

Most babies can be born with very little medical help, and that’s good news because when we minimize surgical intervention, we help ensure a safer delivery. We’ll monitor your health and the health of your baby during the labor and birthing process. Unless necessary, we’ll work with you to avoid common interventions like inducing labor or episiotomy to help prevent dangerous complications that can delay healing.

At the same time, we know every birth is different, as is every new mom. If you choose an epidural for pain relief–even if you change your mind from your birth plan–we will honor your request when it’s safe to do. You are in charge of your birth experience, and that means easing your discomfort.

Did you know that women are three times more likely to experience complications during cesarean delivery? For your safety, our OB-GYNs encourage vaginal birth even if you’ve had a previous C-section, when possible. However, there are times when a cesarean delivery may be medically necessary, and our experts will help ensure both you and your baby are safe and comfortable.

4worldlovers: UCLA Health's The BirthPlace, Santa Monica is one of Southern California's most comprehensive maternity centers. It provides family-centered care and offers a wide range of labor and delivery services to make your birthing experience an event to cherish.

To ensure a safe and comfortable birthing experience, The BirthPlace, Santa Monica offers the highest-quality healthcare professionals and the latest proven technology in a comfortable setting. Our elegant Labor/Delivery/Recovery rooms are designed to feel like a home or a hotel room, while our Postpartum Unit — where you and your baby will stay after your delivery — features private rooms with upgraded deluxe options.

To encourage bonding and continuity of care after labor and delivery, we keep you and your baby together as much as possible and provide the same nurse to care for both of you during your stay at The BirthPlace.
