What is Obstetrics?

Obstetrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It involves the management of both normal and complicated pregnancies, ensuring the health and safety of both the mother and the fetus. Obstetricians are trained to handle a variety of situations, from routine prenatal care to emergencies during labor and delivery. In addition, obstetrics often overlaps with gynecology, which focuses on the overall reproductive health of women.
