Obstetrics & Pregnancy
What is obstetrics?
Pregnancy is a beautiful yet transformative journey, filled with excitement, anticipation, and sometimes uncertainty. Obstetrics is the medical specialty that ensures the health and well-being of both mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery. From conception to delivery, obstetric care provides essential medical support, helping women experience a smooth, safe, and joyful pregnancy.
Whether you are planning to conceive naturally, preparing for a natural birth, or require specialized care, professional obstetric services play a crucial role in guiding you every step of the way. With advancements in modern medicine and personalized care, expecting mothers can feel confident and supported throughout their pregnancy journey.
Key areas of obstetric care
1. Maternity services
Maternity care is designed to support women from the moment they decide to have a baby until after childbirth. Comprehensive maternity services include:
- Regular antenatal check-ups to monitor mother and baby’s health.
- Personalized birth planning, including natural delivery options.
- Pain management and labor support.
- Postnatal care to help new mothers recover and adjust to motherhood
2. Foetal medicine
Foetal medicine focuses on ensuring the baby’s well-being inside the womb through advanced screening and diagnostic techniques, such as:
- Foetal ultrasound & anomaly scans to detect any health concerns early.
- Foetal growth monitoring to track the baby’s development.
- Genetic screening & counseling for families with a history of genetic conditions.
- Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) to check for chromosomal abnormalities.
3. High-risk obstetrics
Some pregnancies require extra attention due to medical conditions or complications. High-risk obstetric care includes:
- Managing conditions like placental abruption, placenta accreta, placenta percreta, jaundice in pregnancy, acute fatty liver of pregnancy, cord prolapse, uterine rupture, hypertension, gestational diabetes, and thyroid disorders.
- Monitoring preterm labor and multiple pregnancies.
Addressing placenta previa, pre-eclampsia, and other complications. - Specialized care for women with a history of miscarriage or pregnancy loss.
With expert medical supervision and timely intervention, high-risk pregnancies can be managed safely for the best outcomes.
4. Miscarriage & Recurrent pregnancy loss
Miscarriage and recurrent pregnancy loss can be emotionally and physically challenging. Specialized care in this area includes:
- Identifying potential causes through medical evaluation and diagnostic tests.
- Providing treatments and lifestyle recommendations to support a healthy pregnancy.
- Emotional and psychological support for couples experiencing pregnancy loss.
- Personalized care plans to improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.
5. Neonatology – Specialized newborn care
Newborn babies, especially those born prematurely or with health concerns, may require specialized medical attention. Neonatology services include:
- NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) for premature and low birth weight babies.

Additional aspects of pregnancy care
Preconception care
Planning for pregnancy is just as important as prenatal care. Preconception care involves:
- Health assessment: Evaluating overall health, medical history, and lifestyle habits.
- Nutritional guidance: Ensuring proper intake of vitamins, especially folic acid, to prevent birth defects.
- Lifestyle modifications: Managing weight, avoiding harmful substances (alcohol, tobacco, and drugs), and addressing any chronic health conditions before conception.
Antenatal education & Birth planning
Many expectant mothers benefit from antenatal education, which includes:
- Pregnancy classes: Educating parents about labor, delivery, and newborn care.
- Birth plan preparation: Discussing preferences for pain relief, delivery methods, and postpartum care.
- Partner & Family involvement: Encouraging support from partners and family members during pregnancy and delivery.
Emotional & Mental well-being
Pregnancy brings not only physical changes but also emotional and mental challenges. Key aspects include:
- Managing pregnancy anxiety & stress: Techniques such as meditation, prenatal yoga, and counseling.
- Recognizing perinatal depression: Early detection and management of depression and anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum.
- Support groups: Connecting with other expecting mothers for shared experiences and emotional support.
Nutrition & Fitness during pregnancy
Maintaining a healthy diet and staying active is crucial. This includes:
- Balanced diet: Consuming nutrient-rich foods to support fetal growth and maternal health.
- Safe exercise: Engaging in pregnancy-friendly exercises like walking, swimming, and prenatal yoga to improve flexibility and endurance.
- Hydration & Supplements: Staying hydrated and taking prenatal vitamins as recommended by healthcare providers.
Postpartum recovery & Newborn care
The journey doesn’t end at childbirth. Postpartum care ensures a healthy recovery for the mother and proper care for the baby. This includes:
- Physical recovery: Healing from delivery, managing postpartum bleeding, and addressing any complications.
- Breastfeeding support: Guidance on proper latching, milk production, and addressing breastfeeding challenges.
- Infant care basics: Bathing, diapering, sleep routines, and recognizing signs of common newborn health issues.
