About Obstetrics
Obstetrics deals with the care of pregnant women, the unborn baby, labor and delivery and the immediate period following childbirth. Obstetrics specifically deals with the welfare of the pregnant woman and her baby. During pregnancy,a number of complications can arise such as ectopic pregnancy, which is a condition where the embryo is in a fallopian tube, fetal distress caused by compression, problems with the placenta or high blood pressure which can be a forerunner of a serious illness called pre-eclampsia.
The obstetrician is trained in these and many other complications of childbirth and ensures both mother and baby are safely guided through all of the phases of pregnancy and childbirth. Whether the baby is delivered vaginally or through a planned or emergency caesarian section an obstetrician is trained to handle any change that is presented during the natural, but sometimes complex process of childbirth.

What conditions do obstetricians treat?
Women usually first see obstetricians for routine prenatal care. The initial appointment typically occurs approximately eight weeks after your last menstrual period. You will see our doctor approximately once a month throughout the duration of your pregnancy. Obstetricians also treat women with high-risk pregnancies both during and after pregnancy. You may have a high-risk pregnancy if you’re pregnant and you:
- Have a chronic health condition
- Are over age 35
- Are carrying multiple babies
- Have a history of miscarriage, preterm labor, or cesarean delivery
- Engage in certain lifestyle choices, such as smoking and drinking
- Develop certain complications during pregnancy that affect you or baby
FAQs
- How can I calculate my due date?
Due Dates are calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. An ultrasound to confirm your due date will be scheduled at one of your first appointments. The estimated due date is indeed just an estimate, as “term” is considered to be from 37 to 42 weeks. (Your estimated due date is calculated as 40 weeks).
- Can I exercise?
Women with uncomplicated pregnancies are encouraged to engage in aerobic and strength training exercises before, during and after pregnancy. Regular physical activity during pregnancy improves or maintains physical fitness, helps with weight management, reduces the risk of gestational diabetes in obese women, and enhances psychological well-being.
- What are some exercises that I can do during my pregnancy?
Examples of safe physical activities during pregnancy:
- Walking
- Swimming
- Stationary cycling
- Low-impact aerobics
- Modified yoga or Pilates
- Running or jogging
- Strength training
- Can I smoke or consume alcoholic beverages?
Smoking cigarettes, tobacco consumption, and drinking alcoholic beverages are absolute NOs when pregnant or breast-feeding. Your baby is greatly affected by what is taken into your body.
- What medications can I take during pregnancy?
Use NO medications, including over-the-counter medicines, unless authorized by our Gynaecologist.
- Can I use a hot tub during my pregnancy?
Saunas, hot tubs, Jacuzzis and tanning beds are NOT recommended in pregnancy. Increased body temperatures can cause problems for you and your baby. Even a hot bath or shower may cause light-headedness, so moderate temperatures and minimal length of time in the water is recommended.
