What is Obstetric Medicine?
When expecting a baby, it's perfectly normal to have questions and concerns, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or develop new ones during your pregnancy.
That's where obstetric medicine comes in, offering specialised care to help you navigate your unique journey towards a healthy pregnancy and childbirth.
Think of obstetric physicians as highly trained experts who bridge the gap between obstetrics (focused on childbirth) and general medicine (managing medical conditions).
