What is obstetric care?
Obstetric care, which includes prenatal care, covers all the medical services you need during your pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum period. Your obstetrician focuses on one thing: protecting your health and that of your baby.
Can I get preconception counseling through obstetric care?
Yes, our providers offer preconception counseling, a service that lays the groundwork for the healthiest possible pregnancy. During preconception counseling, we screen you for health concerns and lifestyle habits that might affect your pregnancy or your health.
Preconception counseling should be done months before you plan to get pregnant. This gives you enough time to make changes to improve your health, such as getting your blood sugar or high blood pressure under control.
Is a high-risk pregnancy managed at BOBGYN/?

Chronic health conditions affecting your pregnancy and the baby include diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and kidney disease.
What other services will I receive through obstetric care?

Vaginal delivery
Our experts will work with you to try to have a natural vaginal delivery whenever possible. However not all women can delivery vaginally due to a host of reasons. Our experts will discuss options with you as you approach your delivery date.
Cesarean delivery (C-section)
Your provider usually doesn’t know you will need a C-section until problems arise during delivery. They prepare you ahead of time by coaching when you might need a C-section and what to expect if that happens.
Vaginal birth after a C-section (VBAC)
Many women can safely have a vaginal delivery after having a C-section. Our doctors have helped countless women with successful VBACs. It depends on variables like the number of previous C-sections, the type of incision, and your overall health.
Postpartum care
Your obstetric care continues during the postpartum period (6 weeks after your delivery). In addition to a postpartum checkup, our experts help with concerns you may have, whether you need help with breastfeeding and baby care, you’re worried about bleeding or difficulty going to the bathroom, or you have questions about birth control and when you can have sex.
