Obstetrics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Obstetricians are medical professionals who specialize in providing prenatal care, attending to labor and delivery, and managing any complications that may arise during pregnancy. This research area encompasses a wide range of topics, including maternal health, fetal development, pregnancy complications, and the impact of various interventions on both maternal and fetal outcomes. Research in obstetrics aims to improve the safety and efficacy of pregnancy and childbirth, as well as enhance the overall well-being of women and their babies during this critical period.
