Fetal tumors: when diagnosis is not a death sentence.

Dr. Andre Miyague September 25, 2025

Receiving the news of a "tumor in the baby" while still in the womb naturally evokes fear and insecurity. It's a powerful word, loaded with meaning and often immediately associated with something malignant.

But it's not always like that.
In fetal medicine, many tumors diagnosed during pregnancy are benign and can be safely monitored until birth.

In this article, I want to clearly explain what fetal tumors are, where they usually appear, what risks are involved, and, most importantly, how we can best care for them with responsibility, planning, and hope.

Dr. Andre Miyague May 16, 2025

Receiving a "high-risk" result during a first-trimester ultrasound can undoubtedly be one of the most challenging moments of prenatal care. It's a term that scares people, generates doubts, and often ends up bringing more anxiety than clarity. But that's precisely why I decided to write this text.

Because before anything else, it's important to understand what this result actually means.

Fetal development from the first to the third trimester

Dr. Andre Miyague January 13, 2025

Pregnancy is one of the most transformative and exciting experiences in a family's life. From the moment the test is positive until birth, the baby undergoes an incredible process of growth and development inside the womb. As a specialist in Fetal Medicine, my role is to monitor and evaluate each stage of this journey, ensuring the health and well-being of the fetus and bringing peace of mind to the parents.

In this article, I will explain in detail what happens in each trimester of pregnancy, highlighting the most important milestones in fetal development and the essential tests at each stage.
