When you’re pregnant, you want the best for your baby. We know an unexpected diagnosis can be scary. At The Fetal Care Center of Southern California, we deal with the unexpected every day, and have helped many families make the best plan for their baby’s birth and medical care.

As a partnership between UCI Health and CHOC, The Fetal Care Center of Southern California brings together experts in maternal-fetal medicine and pediatrics, so both mom and baby are cared for—no matter the diagnosis. Our support for families starts in the fetal period and goes far beyond.

We provide comprehensive fetal diagnosis, education and treatment plans to families facing congenital conditions. Once we’ve confirmed you or your baby’s diagnosis, we will counsel you on what to expect, prenatal interventions you may need, delivering your baby safely and the medical treatment your baby will receive afterward.

• Our goal is to answer all of your questions and provide you and your family peace of mind.
• Our team of specialists will meet with you to develop an individualized treatment plan. We offer specialists in maternal-fetal medicine, neonatology, pediatric general and thoracic surgery, cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery and neurology, urology, ENT, genetics, orthopaedic surgery, plastic surgery and more.
• All appointments will take place in one centralized location on the CHOC campus.
• Your nurse coordinator will be your single point of contact and will coordinate all care for you and your baby.
• Our team approach means we will work closely with your obstetrician (OB), perinatologist and delivery hospital for continuity of care.
• We perform and engage in research to advance the care of mothers and babies facing complex anomalies.
