What is obstetrics?

Obstetrics focuses on women’s care and treatment before and throughout pregnancy, during childbirth, and in their recuperation period after the baby is born.

The obstetricians at Mesbah OB/GYN provide care and support for the period that spans three months before pregnancy and up to a year after the birth.

What obstetric services are available?

Mesbah OB/GYN offers a comprehensive range of obstetric services, including:

Preconception counseling

You can visit your obstetrician before your pregnancy to get advice on making sure you’re healthy, how to provide your baby with the best start in life, and whether you should consider genetic counseling.

You can also see your OB/GYN if you have problems like infertility. They can help with their expertise in reproductive medicine and treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF).

High-risk pregnancy care

The Mesbah OB/GYN team has extensive experience helping women with high-risk pregnancies give birth as naturally and safely as possible.

Fetal monitoring

Fetal monitoring devices measure your baby’s vital signs to ensure all is well. They can be invaluable if you’re experiencing any problems or there’s a reason to be concerned for the baby’s health.

Delivery services

The obstetricians and midwives at Mesbah OB/GYN can help with problems like preterm birth, low birth weight, labor, and delivery.

Postpartum care

Having a baby can be exhausting and overwhelming, even if all goes well. Your obstetrician or midwife can help you recover from birth and get used to looking after your newborn. They assist you with bonding, breastfeeding, and treat problems like postpartum depression.

You can also benefit from Mesbah OB/GYN’s childbirth education classes and cord blood and tissue collection.

What obstetric exams and tests will I need?

At your first prenatal exam, your doctor or midwife gives you a pelvic exam and checks your blood pressure and weight. They also take urine and blood samples for testing to confirm the pregnancy test and see if you have low iron levels (anemia) or signs of infection.

For the duration of your pregnancy, you attend regular appointments at Mesbah OB/GYN for weighing, abdominal measurements, blood pressure checks, and urine tests. You also have at least two ultrasound scans. Mesbah OB/GYN does both 3D and 4D ultrasounds on site.

You might also choose to have screenings for genetic conditions like Down syndrome and problems that could cause your baby to have abnormalities at birth.

Later on in your second trimester, your obstetrician checks your blood sugar for gestational diabetes, and near the end of your pregnancy, they test for infections that could harm your newborn.
