Obstetrics
Obstetrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Obstetricians are medical professionals who specialize in providing care for pregnant women and ensuring the health and safety of both the mother and the developing fetus. This field also involves managing complications that may arise during pregnancy and childbirth.
Key Concepts in Obstetrics:
- Prenatal Care: This involves regular check-ups, screenings, and medical advice for the mother and developing fetus throughout the course of the pregnancy.
- Labor and Delivery: Obstetricians are involved in monitoring and assisting with the process of labor, as well as managing any complications that may arise during childbirth.
- Postpartum Care: This includes the care provided to the mother and newborn in the period immediately following childbirth, addressing any potential complications and ensuring a healthy recovery for both.
- High-Risk Pregnancy: Obstetricians are trained to handle pregnancies that present a higher risk of complications due to factors such as advanced maternal age, multiple gestations, or pre-existing medical conditions.
- Reproductive Health: This encompasses a broader range of services related to female reproductive health, including family planning, fertility issues, and gynecological care.
