Obstetrician & Maternity Services

Obstetricians are medical doctors who specialize in the care of pregnant individuals and the management of childbirth. Here are some key aspects of obstetrician and maternity services: Prenatal Care: 1. Initial Evaluation: Obstetricians conduct a comprehensive evaluation when a woman becomes pregnant, including medical history, physical examination. 2. Regular Check-ups: Throughout pregnancy, obstetricians schedule regular prenatal visits to monitor the health of both the mother and the fetus. 3. Ultrasound: Obstetricians may perform ultrasounds at various points during pregnancy to assess fetal development, determine the due date, and identify any potential issues. High-Risk Pregnancy Management: 1. Risk Assessment: Obstetricians evaluate pregnancies to identify potential risks and complications, such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or multiple pregnancies (e.g., twins). 2. Specialized Care: For high-risk pregnancies, obstetricians work closely with maternal-fetal medicine specialists to provide advanced monitoring and management. Childbirth and Delivery: 1. Labor Management: Obstetricians oversee the entire labor and delivery process, providing guidance on when to go to the hospital or birthing center. 2. Pain Management: They offer pain relief options, including epidurals and pain medication, and monitor labor progress. 3. C-Section (Caesarean Section): Obstetricians perform cesarean sections when necessary, which involves surgical delivery through an incision in the abdomen and uterus. 4. Postpartum Care: After childbirth, obstetricians provide postpartum care to ensure the mother's recovery and monitor her overall health. Antenatal Education and Counseling: 1. Education: Obstetricians and their teams provide education on prenatal care, childbirth preparation, breastfeeding, and newborn care. 2. Counseling: They offer guidance and counseling on various aspects of pregnancy, such as diet, exercise, and emotional well-being.
