Obstetrics is a branch of medicine that specialises in the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It focuses on ensuring the health and safety of both mother and baby throughout the entire pregnancy journey. Obstetric care includes prenatal check-ups, ultrasounds, managing pregnancy-related conditions, labour and delivery support, and postnatal care. Obstetricians work closely with midwives and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care, addressing any complications that may arise and supporting a safe and healthy birth experience.
