ParCare Community Health Network’s obstetricians are board certified doctors who specialize in women’s health; specifically, women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period after childbirth. Many times the obstetrics medical specialty is combined with the gynecology discipline, also known as OB/GYN doctors.
Seeing an obstetrician is especially important in the early stages of pregnancy to screen for any potential risk factors or complications, and continues to be equally important during your first, second, and third trimesters of pregnancy, as well as any necessary postnatal care. Prenatal care requires regular visits during the various stages of pregnancy and includes routine testing and physical examinations.
