Obstetrics is a medical specialty that focuses on the care of women before, during, and after childbirth. It involves numerous services and treatments that aim to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby. Obstetric care is essential in detecting and managing complications that could arise during pregnancy, labor, and the postnatal period. It can involve various treatments and interventions, ranging from routine prenatal check-ups to high-risk pregnancy management. All women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant can benefit from obstetric services. These services are also beneficial during the postpartum period.

Types of Obstetric Services and Treatments:

• Prenatal Care: Regular check-ups during pregnancy to monitor the health of the mother and the baby, including screenings and tests.
• High-Risk Pregnancy Care: Management and treatment for pregnancies that have higher risks due to maternal age, health conditions, or complications during pregnancy.
• Labor and Delivery Care: Monitoring and assistance during labor and birth, including pain management and emergency care if needed.
• Postnatal Care: Care for the mother and the baby after birth, including monitoring recovery, providing breastfeeding support, and screening for postpartum depression.
• Obstetric Ultrasound: Use of ultrasound technology to monitor the development of the fetus and detect any potential issues.
• Obstetric Surgeries: Includes procedures like cesarean sections (C-sections), episiotomy, and more complex surgeries for complications.

When to see a doctor:

Regular appointments with an obstetrician like Dr Seema and her team should be scheduled throughout the course of the pregnancy, according to the recommended prenatal care schedule. Additionally, medical advice should be sought immediately for any concerns or symptoms such as severe nausea or vomiting, pain, bleeding, severe headaches, or any noticeable changes in the baby’s movement patterns.

Hi friends, I went to this hospital clinic today and the dooctor was really good. She is very suggestive, caring and supportive. I frankly recommend you all to her when necessary. Dr. Seema is really one of the best Gynaecologist that I have ever met.
