Obstetrics

What is obstetrics?

Obstetrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period (after delivery). Obstetricians are experienced medical physicians who specialize in women’s health care during and after pregnancy to ensure the mother and baby remain healthy.

With an experienced team of skilled obstetricians, Roswell ObGyn, LLC provides comprehensive care for women through pregnancy and beyond.

What does an obstetrics specialist do?

Commonly called obstetricians, the physicians at Roswell ObGyn, LLC manage every aspect of pregnancy, from conception through the postpartum stage. They undergo extensive training to provide high-quality medical care to you and your developing fetus throughout pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

Obstetricians also have specialized training to anticipate and treat unexpected pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia (high blood pressure), and preterm labor.

The experienced obstetricians at Roswell ObGyn, LLC work with you to ensure a healthy pregnancy and complication-free childbirth. After your delivery, the team provides postpartum care to help you recover and adjust to life with a newborn.

What does obstetrics include?

Roswell ObGyn, LLC offers a range of obstetrics services that include: 

Preconception counseling

Preconception counseling helps you prepare for a healthy pregnancy. Your obstetrician reviews your medical history and performs a physical exam to address factors affecting your ability to conceive and enjoy a healthy pregnancy, such as pre-existing medical conditions, excess weight, and poor diet.

Prenatal care

Prenatal care involves monitoring you and your unborn baby throughout pregnancy. This may include:

• Regular checkups
• Prenatal vitamins
• Ultrasounds
• Dietary changes
• Lifestyle counseling
• Blood tests

The team can also make recommendations to ease uncomfortable pregnancy symptoms, such as nausea, frequent urination, back pain, and constipation.

High-risk pregnancy care

High-risk pregnancy care is a specialized form of obstetric care that focuses on managing and monitoring pregnancies that may have a higher risk of complications. 

Higher maternal age, pre-existing medical conditions, gestational diabetes, multiple pregnancies, and certain fetal abnormalities (anencephaly, cleft palate, etc.) require additional monitoring to ensure you and your baby remain safe and healthy.
