Obstetrics:

Obstetricians provide comprehensive prenatal care to monitor the health and well-being of both the pregnant person and the developing fetus. This includes regular check-ups, screenings, and diagnostic tests to ensure a healthy pregnancy.

Obstetric ultrasound scans are used to monitor fetal growth and development, detect any abnormalities, determine the baby’s gender (if desired), and assess the placenta and amniotic fluid levels.
Management of Pregnancy Complications: Obstetricians are trained to identify and manage various pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, placental abnormalities, and preterm labor.

Obstetricians oversee the process of labor and delivery, providing medical interventions as needed to ensure the safety and well-being of both the mother and the baby. This may include pain management options, assisted vaginal delivery (e.g., forceps or vacuum extraction), or cesarean section (C-section) if necessary.

Antenatal Care:

Antenatal care involves regular monitoring of the pregnant person’s health, including blood pressure, weight gain, and screening for conditions such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.

Antenatal care providers offer guidance on nutrition and lifestyle habits during pregnancy to support maternal and fetal health.

Antenatal classes provide education and support on topics such as childbirth preparation, breastfeeding, newborn care, and postpartum recovery.

Pregnancy can bring about various emotions and challenges. Antenatal care providers offer emotional support and counselling to address concerns and promote overall well-being throughout pregnancy.
