Texas Children’s Fetal Center®

Continuity that feels like comfort

At Texas Children’s Hospital, we understand that what your family is going through is hard. We do everything we can to make it easier. Our Fetal Center was designed with a focus on easing the burden for you and your family. We’re here to make getting the care you need easier, more convenient and less stressful. And to provide you and your family the most supportive, compassionate, caring environment possible.

Care that’s built around your baby

One point of contact, right from day one

From your first phone call, you’ll be connected with your own nurse coordinator. For these unique RNs it’s not just an assignment – it’s a calling. Nurse coordinators are your personal advocates and guides to help you and your family understand what the journey ahead will look like. They are a bridge to the rest of the remarkable team assembled to provide the best possible care and future for your child. A nurse coordinator is assigned to help you get answers, information, reassurance and support.

Hundreds of specialists. One address

There may be hundreds of experts involved in you and your baby’s care — but most of your care takes place in one location, the Fetal Center, where doctors come to you, gathering collectively to care for your unique needs.

Decisions made with you, not for you

You and your family sit at the table with your care team as we discuss and make decisions together regarding your treatment. We’ll ask you questions such as: Have you thought about this? Are you comfortable with that? Through education and support, we believe in helping your family make decisions that are right for you.

Continuity that feels like comfort

You’ll see familiar faces throughout your journey, providing comfort and continuity as you transition to each new stage of care. Every stage is carefully planned, with constant communication across our teams and a focus on anticipating your every need, with a lot of follow up along the way.
