Abstract
Abstract Advances in technology have allowed for more complex medical interventions at a much younger gestational age. With such advances in neonatal care, the age of viability has improved. Medical teams are now able to intervene in utero to identify, address, and correct certain congenital anomalies, malformations, and disruptions in the normal process of fetal development. Medicine is also embracing a more inclusive, patient- and family-centered approach to care. Multidisciplinary teams across fetal care, obstetrics, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and NICU follow-up clinic settings that offer emotional support to families have grown to include psychology, social work, child life specialists, and chaplains. In some hospitals, perinatal psychiatry is also available to caregivers who have an infant in the NICU. These disciplines take an active role in helping parents manage the perinatal mood and anxiety disorders that often accompany the stress that they experience, both while the fetus is in utero and postpartum.
