Obstetrics
Obstetrics is the branch of medicine and surgery that focuses on the care of pregnant women, including prenatal care, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Obstetricians are medical professionals who specialize in obstetrics and are responsible for managing and ensuring the health and well-being of both the pregnant woman and the developing fetus during pregnancy and childbirth. Obstetrics also encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of complications that may arise during pregnancy, labor, or delivery.
