General Obstetrics

General obstetrics is a branch of medicine focused on pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It involves the care of women during all stages of pregnancy, from conception through delivery and recovery. Obstetricians monitor the health of both the mother and the baby, manage any complications, and provide guidance on labor and delivery options. This field ensures that pregnancies progress safely and helps support families during this significant life event, promoting both physical and emotional well-being.
