Concept information
Preferred term
perinatologist
Definition
- A perinatologist is an obstetrician who has specialist training to treat a pregnant mother and an unborn fetus where, for whatever reason, there is a greater concern about more complications than with a normal birth. Usually, this is concerned with the period from the 20th until the 28th week of gestation, at which time birth takes place, after which the mother and baby are treated by a neonatologist.
