Obstetricians are medical doctors who specialize in pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. They provide care for expectant mothers, monitor the health of both the mother and the baby, and assist during labor and delivery. Obstetricians are trained to handle various complications that may arise during pregnancy and childbirth. In addition to delivering babies, obstetricians also offer prenatal care, which includes regular check-ups and screenings to ensure a healthy pregnancy. They may work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as midwives and pediatricians, to provide comprehensive care for families during this important time.
