What do Obstetricians do?
Obstetrics physicians, also known as obstetricians, are medical doctors who specialize in pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. They provide prenatal care, deliver babies (vaginally or via C-section), and manage postpartum recovery.
An obstetrician is called upon for specialized care, especially if a pregnancy is high-risk, while a general obstetrician can handle all aspects of pregnancy, from conception to after birth.
They monitor the health of both the mother and fetus throughout all stages of pregnancy, address potential complications, and offer guidance on family planning and other related concerns.
Many also specialize in gynecology (OB/GYN), meaning they treat general reproductive health issues.
What they do
Gynecological care (for OB/GYNs): In addition to obstetrics, OB/GYNs also provide care for general reproductive health, including diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the female reproductive system.
Prenatal care: Monitor the mother’s and fetus’s health during pregnancy through regular check-ups, tests, and imaging.
Childbirth: Manage labor and delivery, which can include performing vaginal deliveries, assisting with complications, and performing procedures like cesarean sections or forceps deliveries.
Postpartum care: Provide care for the mother after childbirth, including managing physical recovery and addressing issues like postpartum depression.
Family planning: Offer counseling and services related to family planning and contraception.
Complication management: Handle pregnancy-related complications, such as ectopic pregnancy or preeclampsia.
When to see an obstetrician
- You can see an obstetrician from before conception through the postpartum stage.
- A midwife or GP may refer you to an obstetrician if they have any concerns about your pregnancy, such as a history of complications or a long-term illness.
- Both obstetricians and gynecologists are essential for a woman’s health, as they each specialize in different areas. Having both a primary care doctor and an OB/GYN ensures comprehensive care for both reproductive and general health concerns.
