Important Medical Information For All New or Prospective Parents

There are five new important topics pertinent to new obstetric patients that the physicians at Camelback Women’s Health would like to address in a special bulletin. 

In the past two years, there have been two major policy changes by national healthcare organizations concerning HIV testing in pregnant women and cystic fibrosis screening in new or prospective new mothers. Recently, there have been exciting advances in prenatal screening for Down’s Syndrome that now can be offered to women under age 35 or reduce the need for genetic amniocentesis. In addition, you should be aware of dietary precautions for pregnant women that were announced by the Food and Drug Administration in 2001. 

And finally, as the discussion about stem cell research has intensified, we feel it’s important to let you be aware of the ability now to preserve fetal cells from the placenta after normal childbirth that could provide stem cells to your child or a close relative in the event that a serious illness occurred in the future.
