Maternal-Fetal Medicine & High-Risk Pregnancy Clinic

About the clinic

For most women, pregnancy — a natural process — runs its course without complications and ends in a full-term birth. But in some pregnancies, complications can develop that put the wellbeing of mother or baby at risk. Sometimes those complications arise during the pregnancy itself; other times they stem from a woman’s health even before she conceived.

Our High-Risk Pregnancy Clinic cares for women facing a range of these situations — whether you come to us during your pregnancy or are referred for admission by your doctor at your health fund (kupat cholim). Appointments are readily available, and our booking system is quick and easy to use. The unit is equipped with advanced technology, has 25 inpatient beds, and is staffed by a warm, professional team of specialist doctors and skilled nurses.

Everything you need to know

Some of the more common risk situations:
  • An expectant mother with serious heart or kidney disease, pre-existing (pre-pregnancy) diabetes, high blood pressure, or a structural abnormality of the uterus.
  • A medical history in previous pregnancies that includes, among other things: multiple miscarriages, premature births, multiple cesarean sections, increased blood clotting, a baby born with birth defects, hereditary conditions in the family, antibodies in the mother’s blood that put the baby at risk, or the development of gestational diabetes.
  • Complications that appear early in pregnancy, including a multiple pregnancy (more than one baby), early bleeding, and cervical insufficiency.
  • Early contractions, bleeding from placenta previa or placental abruption, pre-eclampsia, early water breaking, and slowed fetal growth.
  • Complications during the birth itself or after the baby is born — such as uterine bleeding when the uterus doesn’t contract properly after delivery, or pre-eclampsia that develops after the birth.
  • The hospital operates across all health funds, and members of every kupat cholim are welcome here.
  • Members of Meuhedet and Maccabi are seen at the clinic by referral only, or by paying according to the hospital’s price list.
  • Under our agreements with Clalit and Leumit as well, Form 17 vouchers will be issued for the outpatient clinics — or you can pay according to the hospital’s price list.
