Obstetricians Are Needed to Ensure A Healthy Birth
Obstetricians are specialist doctors who are trained to manage pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatal care. Their extensive training equips them to handle the full spectrum of pregnancy-related needs, from routine antenatal care to complex high-risk situations. Having a qualified obstetrician involved in your care provides reassurance that both you and your baby are monitored by an expert throughout every stage of pregnancy and delivery.

A woman's health before pregnancy is critical for her wellbeing during pregnancy and may affect her unborn baby. The RANZCOG recommends having a health check with your doctor at the time you are planning a pregnancy. Key points include assessment of obstetric and medical history, assessment of genetic disorders, optimisation of health care with supplements and mental wellbeing, weight management, adequate diet, exercise plan, and management of pre-existing health conditions.
Pregnancy
Antenatal care is the care that you and your unborn baby receive from your doctor during pregnancy. This is extremely important for both mother and baby as the requirements of each individual pregnancy may be different. While pregnancy is a physiological condition in a low-risk pregnancy, occasionally unexpected complications can arise at any time.
Post Pregnancy
Postnatal care is care of the woman after birth till six weeks later. It is very important that women and their babies are well looked after in the postnatal period. Support regarding breastfeeding and general physical and mental wellbeing are crucial.
