Obstetrician – Why Consulting a Specialist Matters
An Obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. They manage normal pregnancies with prenatal visits, ultrasounds, and lifestyle guidance, as well as high-risk pregnancies complicated by conditions like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, placenta previa, and multiple pregnancies. They manage labor and perform deliveries including C-sections (Caesarean sections). Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialists handle the most complex high-risk pregnancies. Most OB-GYNs practice both obstetrics and gynecology.
