Frequently Asked Questions

During prenatal evaluations, you can ask the neonatalogist regarding any risks that might be of concern for your pregnancy. You can also ask them about any concerns that you may have regarding the fetus’s health. After delivery, if neonatalogists are involved in the care of your newborn, you can ask them about the recovery timeline of your child and their health risks.

Based on the type of complications newborns face, hospitals have set guidelines on how to help young patients. Neonatalogists enact the care guidelines in such scenarios. They are not solely responsible for developing any treatment plan because, often, their role requires handling emergency medical situations. In case a medical treatment plan needs to be devised, they work with other medical professionals like obstetricians and surgeons to develop a plan.

A neonatalogist offers medical care to prematurely born newborns and infants with congenital health conditions. They are often a part of prenatal care teams in high-risk pregnancies and also work with surgeons during and after delivery to ensure the newborns are safe and healthy.
