t is our objective to analyze some characteristics of fetal medicine, a specialization that has existed for over 30 years. To be sure, research in the area of fetal medicine has broadened its spectrum in order to obtain results that should be used in future clinical practices. Some of the diseases listed are rare and, thus, difficult to be handled. The advantages of new procedures should be well-understood before they are put into practice and should surmount the risks. It is also important to underscore the importance of processes of training before new procedures are implemented. In the future, the treatment in fetal medicine will consolidate precise mapping of genes, early management of genetic alterations, and improved forms of intrauterine intervention with reduced gestational risks. It should be emphasized that the decisions of pregnant women should always be observed as to what concerns the search for a better quality of life for the mother and, consequently, for the baby.
