Obstetrics is a branch of medicine that deals with patients who are pregnant, including childbirth and midwifery. Pregnancy can be healthy or an abnormal one requiring careful treatment. An obstetrician plays a pivotal role in the care of a pregnant patient and her unborn baby. The Millennium Hospital will ensure that you and your baby sail through this journey with ease, comfort, and the highest level of care. The spectrum of obstetrics comprises various phases enumerated as follows:
This covers the period of pregnancy from conception till delivery. It includes pregnancy detection, investigations management of healthy or abnormal fetuses, or abnormally located fetuses (ectopic pregnancy).
This includes delivery of the patient by natural labor and labor initiation by medications (induced labor). Assisted delivery is the delivery of the baby by instruments like forceps, vacuum, or by giving incision to the mother’s perineum to facilitate the widening of the birth canal for the provision of vaginal delivery.
This is the period following the delivery of the baby. The role of the physician is to provide assistance for successful breastfeeding and to prevent postpartum complications. This phase completes with the restoration of the physical health and wellbeing of the recuperating woman.
