Obstetrics refers to the field of medical study which deals with pregnancy, childbirth, prenatal care and the first months following delivery.
Our obstetricians (also called an OB/GYN) will support and take care of you throughout your pregnancy, from your positive pregnancy test through your labour and the postpartum period.
In the first trimester of a pregnancy, the obstetrician will monitor your blood count, screen you for general antibodies as well as test for specific antigens to Rubella, Hepatitis B, tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted infections.
Regular check-ups throughout your pregnancy monitor the cervix, placenta, fluid, and health of the baby, as well as vitamin and mineral levels. Other routine checks include vaginal swabs, foetal heartbeat and movement monitoring, and blood work.
Ultrasounds are performed to evaluate for ectopic pregnancy, to detect congenital anomalies, and to check blood flow velocity in the umbilical cord. Obstetric ultrasounds, unlike x-rays, do not emit radiation and thus are safe for mother and baby.
Certain diseases are more likely to affect pregnant women, which is why the obstetrician will monitor your health during your pregnancy.
Gestational diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, and thyroid disease are all common complications of pregnancy. There is also an increased risk during pregnancy of blood clots (thrombosis and hypercoagulability).
If your pregnancy goes on for longer than the typical 40-week period, your doctor may recommend that you be induced, a procedure which artificially stimulates labour.
Induction is also an option earlier in the pregnancy in cases of pre-eclampsia, placental malfunction, and foetal distress.
