Frequently asked Questions about Obstetrics
What does obstetrics mean in pregnancy?
Obstetrics and gynaecology is concerned with the care of pregnant woman, her unborn child and the management of diseases specific to women. The specialty combines medicine and surgery.
What is difference between gynecologist and obstetrician?
What is the difference between an OB and a midwife?
Do you need an obstetrician when pregnant?
If you have an uncomplicated birth at a public hospital as a public patient, you probably won’t need an obstetrician. But an obstetrician will be available to manage any complications or emergencies. In a private hospital, your obstetrician may visit you during your labour.
What Week Do you see an obstetrician?
This depends a little on your history, but I usually like to meet patients between 8 – 10 weeks of pregnancy. Patients with pre-existing medical problems or who take regular medications should be seen on the earlier side of that window.
