obstetric nursing

Obstetric nursing is a specialized area of nursing focused on caring for women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It involves supporting expectant mothers through medical assessments, education, and emotional support, ensuring both their health and the baby's well-being. Obstetric nurses monitor fetal development, assist with labor and delivery, provide postpartum care, and educate mothers on newborn care. They work closely with healthcare teams to promote safe, healthy pregnancies and childbirth, helping women navigate this important life stage with confidence and appropriate medical guidance.
