When having a baby is complicated by maternal or newborn health risks, Riley at IU Health is a smart choice. We are best known as a nationally-ranked resource for children with complex conditions, but we also offer a full spectrum of prenatal, obstetric and postnatal care for at-risk pregnancies.

Maternal-fetal specialists at Riley at IU Health are trained to diagnose and treat women who have a risk of delivering a child with a birth defect or genetic disease. Our healthcare team has the breadth and depth of experience to manage a broad range of maternal and fetal health conditions.

Your healthcare needs are met using an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach that coordinates all the right expertise for your situation. Depending on your needs, your care may involve various experts, including neonatal, pediatric, maternal-fetal and adult subspecialists. Through precise coordination of your maternal-fetal care, we lead you and your unborn baby toward the most optimal outcomes.

Why Riley at IU Health?

Every birth is a unique experience, and Riley at IU Health is prepared to handle every circumstance your family could have with a pregnancy. Your baby has immediate access to the nation’s leading specialists in every field of pediatric healthcare, including neonatology, developmental pediatrics, genetic counseling, urology, cardiology, nephrology, neurosurgery, neurology and more.

From the very beginning, our experts collaborate to carefully plan your pregnancy and delivery. As you make healthcare decisions on behalf of your newborn, we are ready around the clock to care for you, your baby and your family with compassion and concern.

Expert Prenatal Care and Fetal Diagnosis for High-Risk Pregnancies. Your health and your baby’s health are inseparable. Through our Maternal Fetal Medicine Department, we manage your health in concert with your baby’s. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure or another health condition that could affect the health of your baby, our specialists and subspecialists can guide you from early diagnosis of any maternal or fetal condition, through prenatal care, delivery and beyond. We carefully plan every aspect of care for mothers and babies, involving all the right subspecialists at each stage of your pregnancy and delivery. When mothers or their newborns need prompt access to the state’s most advanced, comprehensive care at Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health, we offer Indiana University Health LifeLine transfer throughout Indiana, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Wellness, Specialty and Follow-up Care for Infants and Children. Fortunately, many carefully planned, high-risk pregnancies go so well that infants require only routine care at birth. When a newborn needs more specialized care at delivery, life may begin in one of several statewide neonatal intensive care units (NICU). This includes one of Indiana’s only Level IV NICU at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health, where we nurture babies with one or more health conditions.

Riley at IU Health also offers the expert follow-up care some children may need to develop optimally, including Developmental Pediatrics and/or care by specialists for their conditions. Children born at Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health who have a high risk for developmental problems are eligible for our Newborn Follow-up Care Program. This program observes children closely during the first two years of life to detect any delays that could benefit from early care.

Whatever your baby’s path is toward better health, Riley at IU Health is devoted to maintaining a partnership with your family for as long as we are needed. Together, our specialists form a consistent, unified team for families whose children need a special level of healthcare after birth and throughout childhood. Our statewide network for primary care can also provide convenient wellness care for children at all stages of their growth.

Riley at IU Health shares one of Indiana’s top public health priorities: improving prenatal care across the state. We are a leader in recent statewide efforts to reverse premature birth and infant mortality rates, helping Indiana build a better network of preeminent care for mothers and infants in several ways, such as:

  • Teaching better skills for resuscitating and stabilizing critically ill newborns and supporting excellent care for mothers and babies around the state in collaboration with statewide healthcare partners, nurses and physicians. (Download our catalog to view the wide range of perinatal and neonatal training available for healthcare professionals.)
  • Continuing medical education gives clinicians access to the latest information about procedures, new technologies and best practices.
  • Identifying new technologies, studying the causes of prematurity and morbidity among infants and bringing evidence-based healthcare to women and babies.
  • Establishing at statewide network of care to ensure babies receive the right level of care, closest to home.
  • Recruiting nationally known specialists in neonatology, maternal-fetal medicine and pediatric surgery.

    Research

    Riley at IU Health maternal-fetal specialists use evidence-based techniques informed by research, including collaborative studies with the Indiana University School of Medicine. Our maternal-fetal medicine specialists study a wide range of health problems, including research to identify new methods for detecting and treating women at risk for premature birth, which can increase the rate of infant mortality. Premature birth also gives surviving children a higher risk of cardiovascular, lung and metabolic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes later in life.
