Without An Obstetrician Waco Pregnancies May Turn Out Problematic

By Patrick Lewis


Pregnancy is a very special time for most women. The very idea that one is carrying a new life within oneself fills many people with wonder. Of course, being pregnant is not a particularly dangerous time, but it certainly can become so. That is why so many pregnant women and their loved ones want to make sure that they receive the very best care possible in order to make sure both the mother and the baby remains safe. With help from an obstetrician Waco families can look forward to a peaceful pregnancy.

It is a common misconception to think that gynaecology and obstetrics are one and the same thing. Gynaecologists are concerned with the female reproductive system and the organs involved in general, but the obstetrician is more focused on the treatment of pregnant women. Obstetricians do not focus solely on the pregnant woman, but also on the unborn foetus. Some practitioners are qualified to fulfil both roles.

Millions of women give birth every year without any help at all or with help from a house doctor or midwife only. Unfortunately, many babies and mothers do not survive if any complications occur because the house doctor or midwife is simply not able to cope with such problems. Obstetricians will make sure that these difficulties are not unexpected and that preparations are made for a smooth birthing process.

Statistics show that many problems experienced during pregnancy can be prevented and treated by proper and expert prenatal care. House doctors and midwives are simply not equipped, experienced enough or qualified to provide a high level of care. Obstetricians perform a wide range of tests throughout pregnancy to quickly identify potential problems and to deal with them. Certain defects, such as down syndrome, can be diagnosed during the early stages of pregnancy.

The vast majority of births are concluded without any problems, but there are still a number of things that can go very wrong, sometimes unexpectedly. In such a case obstetricians are often the only specialists that can intervene successfully and ensure that both the mother and the baby survives. If they tended to the mother throughout her pregnancy, difficulties can often be foreseen and circumvented.

The period immediately following the birth is also of vital importance. Obstetricians will carefully monitor both the mother and the newborn baby to make sure that there are no complications. If there are, he will deal with the matter. Once the baby and the mother is deemed fit to go home, the specialist will no longer be involved in their continued care but will leave it to other specialists such as paediatricians.

Most women see a gynaecologist from time to time. When they become pregnant, however, they need an obstetrician. When planning a pregnancy, many women move to a gynaecologist that is also qualified in obstetrics. This makes things easier for the patient and she does not have to see different specialists when she becomes pregnant.

Losing a baby is heartbreaking. So is giving birth to a baby with defects that could have been prevented if only proper care was obtained early enough. Obstetricians can provide peace of mind and while they are not miracle workers, they can do a lot.
