Lisa Hui is a Maternal-Fetal Medicine doctor based at 163 Studley Road, Heidelberg, VIC 3084. This type of care is for pregnancies where things need closer monitoring, extra scans, and careful planning. When a pregnancy is “high risk”, it can feel overwhelming. Lisa focuses on making the next steps clear and helping families understand what is going on.
Her work covers a wide range of prenatal health issues. This includes problems that can affect a baby’s growth, like intrauterine growth restriction, and concerns linked to the placenta, including placental insufficiency. She also helps when there are signs that a baby may not be getting enough oxygen, such as cerebral hypoxia.
A big part of maternal-fetal medicine is looking after infections during pregnancy. Lisa supports families when there are antenatal infections like cytomegalovirus, rubella, parvovirus, and herpes virus. She also works with cases that fall under TORCH-related concerns, and when a pregnancy may be affected by other infections such as SARS.
Lisa also helps when chromosome or genetic conditions are suspected or confirmed, including Down syndrome, trisomy 13, trisomy 18, and conditions like Turner syndrome, Triple X syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome. At times, families may be dealing with mosaicism or changes like triple pregnancy issues (like triploidy). She can also be involved when there are structural concerns seen on scans, such as holoprosencephaly, myelomeningocele, and omphalocele.
Other pregnancy and baby health topics she looks after include gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and obesity-related pregnancy risk. She also supports families where there are issues with fetal wellbeing and blood clotting, such as fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, and venous thromboembolism (VTE). In some cases, she helps with conditions that involve hormones and development, including intersex and hypogonadism, as well as immune-related problems like absence of the thymus.
Over time, Lisa Hui has built a practice that brings together careful fetal assessment and practical planning for what comes next. She works with a range of families facing complex pregnancy challenges, helping them make sense of results and guiding care around delivery and the early newborn period.
