What is OBS pregnancy?

Published in Pregnancy Care 2 mins read

"OBS pregnancy" refers to pregnancy under the care of an Obstetrician (OB). An Obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Obstetrics (OB): This is the field of medicine concerned with the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the period immediately following delivery (postpartum).

  • Obstetrician (OB): A medical doctor who has specialized in obstetrics.

Therefore, when someone refers to an "OBS pregnancy," they generally mean they are receiving prenatal care and will deliver their baby with the assistance of an Obstetrician. This involves:

  • Regular prenatal checkups: To monitor the health of both the mother and the baby.
  • Screening tests: To identify potential risks or complications.
  • Guidance and education: On nutrition, exercise, and what to expect during pregnancy and labor.
  • Management of any complications: That may arise during the pregnancy.
  • Labor and delivery care: Including vaginal delivery or Cesarean section (C-section) if necessary.
  • Postpartum care: For both the mother and the newborn.

In short, an OBS pregnancy implies comprehensive medical care throughout the entire pregnancy journey, overseen by a specialized medical professional.
