Top 3 High-Risk Pregnancy Specialists in Amman 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

High-risk pregnancy care is follow-up by a doctor with extra training in the complications of pregnancy and in the health of both mother and baby. Many pregnancies never need it, but your obstetrician may suggest closer monitoring if you have an existing condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or a heart or kidney problem. The same applies if you are expecting twins, have had a preterm birth or a complication in an earlier pregnancy, or if a scan raises concerns about the baby's growth.

Book a non-urgent visit with a high-risk pregnancy specialist if your general obstetrician or midwife has referred you, if a routine scan or blood test has raised a question, or if you have a long-term health condition and are planning a pregnancy. Booking early gives time for tests and a plan before any problem develops.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Do not wait for an appointment if you have any of the following. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department:

• Heavy vaginal bleeding
• Severe abdominal or pelvic pain
• A severe headache, blurred vision, or sudden swelling of the face or hands
• A seizure or fit
• Chest pain, difficulty breathing, or fainting
• Fluid leaking from the vagina before the due date
• Fever with chills, or a noticeable drop in the baby's movements

Do not drive yourself if you have any of these signs.

How to choose among the doctors here

The three profiles on this page all list high-risk pregnancy among their services or subspecialties, and all three list Abdali Hospital Outpatient Clinics in Abdali, Amman. They differ in focus, so match the profile to your situation rather than to the order on the page.

• If you need pregnancy follow-up alongside delivery care, the profile of Dr Suzan Atamna lists vaginal and caesarean delivery among its services.
• If you are planning a pregnancy or have fertility questions, the profiles of Dr Suzan Atamna and Dr Lamia Haj Hassan both list infertility assessment. Dr Haj Hassan's profile also lists hysteroscopy.
• If your main concern is the baby's health, Professor Maher Maaita's profile centres on maternal-fetal medicine and lists fetal health assessment, with UK training in ultrasound.

The list is ordered by profile completeness, so the first position is not a judgement of skill. If you searched for the best High-Risk Pregnancy Specialists in Amman, the honest answer is that no list can name one best doctor for you. Look at the training, the services, and how well each doctor answers your questions in person.

Ask each clinic directly who will manage your delivery, who covers you when your doctor is away, and which language the consultation will be in.

What to expect at the first visit

The profiles describe consultations that review your medical history, symptoms and previous investigations, then discuss the next steps. Having your records ready makes that conversation more useful.

Bring:

• Your pregnancy booklet or notes from your current care
• Earlier ultrasound reports, scan images and blood test results
• A list of current medicines, vitamins and supplements, with doses
• Details of past pregnancies, deliveries and any complications
• Your family history of conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or inherited disorders
• Home blood pressure readings, if you have been measuring them

Useful questions to ask:

• What is my risk level, and what is causing it?
• Which tests are planned, and when will I have them?
• Which symptoms should make me call the clinic the same day?
• How often will I need visits or scans?
• Where will I deliver, and who will be on call?

Write down the answers, or ask whether a summary can be shared with your general obstetrician.

Insurance, fees and booking

Financial questions are best settled before the appointment. Ask the clinic:

• Whether it accepts your health insurer, and what share of the cost you will pay
• The consultation fee, and whether scans, blood tests or procedures are charged separately
• Whether a referral from your obstetrician or general practitioner is needed
• Which days and hours the clinic runs, and whether a named doctor will see you or a colleague
• How to cancel or reschedule, and how much notice is required

A consultation fee shown on a profile is the only published price on this page. Treat the total cost of your care as something to confirm with the clinic in writing before you go.

Getting there

All three profiles give their location as Abdali, Amman, at Abdali Hospital Outpatient Clinics. Abdali is not one of the districts listed on this page, so check the route in your map app from your starting point before you leave.

If you are travelling from other parts of the city, such as Abdoun, Jubeiha, Sweifieh, Gardens, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Shmeisani, 7th Circle or Dabouq, allow extra time at busy hours. If you have any warning sign listed above, do not travel to an appointment. Call 911 instead.
