St. Luke’s Clinic – Maternal Fetal Medicine: Boise

Managing high-risk pregnancies requires expertise, as well as a commitment to mothers and their babies. If you’re facing a difficult pregnancy, or the prospect of a child with a birth defect, the team at St. Luke’s Clinic – Maternal Fetal Medicine offers you expert medical care and compassionate support from initial consultation through the end of gestation.  

Our physicians specialize in complications, such as: 

  • Preconceptual concerns, including maternal medical conditions, previous pregnancy complications, or previous fetal or newborn loss 
  • Premature labor and/or history of premature labor/delivery 
  • Multiple gestation (twins, triplets, or more) 
  • Preeclampsia and chronic hypertension 
  • Fetal anomalies 

We also offer genetic counseling if you’re at risk for an inherited condition or abnormal pregnancy outcome.

We accept patients by physician referral for initial consultation and determination of pregnancy risks. We’ll partner with your referring OB/GYN, family practitioner, or midwife to ensure your pregnancy is managed in the safest, most effective manner possible. And we’ll work closely with pediatric specialists to help give babies with medical complications the best possible start in life.

COVID-19 Vaccine Recommended for Pregnant Women

COVID-19 Vaccine Recommended for Pregnant Women

Protect Yourself and Your Baby

Pregnant women with COVID-19 can have severe illness and severe outcomes, including ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and death.


That's why St. Luke’s OB/GYN providers recommend the COVID-19 vaccine for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to get pregnant. More than 139,000 pregnant women have enrolled in the V-Safe Pregnancy Registry. Data shows there is no risk of miscarriage associated with the vaccines.


COVID-19 vaccines do not cause infection; they do prevent severe illness from COVID-19, which is dangerous for a pregnant woman and her fetus. Maternal infection with the virus is associated with an increased risk of preterm delivery and stillbirth. Vaccinated mothers who are breastfeeding transmit antibodies that may help protect their newborns.
