Obstetrics is the branch of medicine that looks after women during pregnancy, childbirth and the weeks after delivery. An obstetrician monitors the health of both mother and baby, screens for problems early and guides decisions about delivery. In India, most obstetricians are also trained gynecologists (OB-GYN), so one doctor can care for you before, during and after pregnancy. Dr. Das also offers a wider range of gynecology services.
Antenatal care, also called prenatal care, means regular check-ups that help detect problems early. Visits usually include blood pressure and weight checks, blood and urine tests, ultrasound scans at recommended stages, and advice on nutrition, supplements, vaccinations and safe activity. Key milestones include an early dating scan, a detailed anomaly scan around 18–20 weeks, and growth scans later when indicated. The schedule is personalised, with closer follow-up if you have a medical condition. Learn more about antenatal care.
A pregnancy is called high-risk when the mother or baby has a higher chance of complications. Examples include gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, anaemia, twins, a previous caesarean or pregnancy loss, or pregnancy after IVF. High-risk pregnancy care does not mean something will go wrong; it means closer monitoring, extra tests and a clear plan, with referral or specialist input when needed. See high-risk pregnancy management.
Delivery care starts well before your due date, with a birth plan that partners or family are welcome to join. Vaginal birth, assisted delivery and caesarean section are chosen according to what is safest for you and your baby, and the reasons are explained. Dr. Das discusses labour monitoring, pain-relief options and what to expect at [ADD: DELIVERY FACILITY NAME]. Read about delivery treatment.
Recovery matters as much as delivery. Postnatal care visits check bleeding, stitch or wound healing, blood pressure, breastfeeding and emotional wellbeing. This is also the time to discuss contraception and family planning, pelvic-floor recovery, sleep and mood. Explore postnatal and post-delivery care.
Contact a doctor promptly if you notice vaginal bleeding, leaking fluid, severe or persistent abdominal pain, reduced baby movements, severe headache with blurred vision, sudden swelling of the face or hands, fever, burning urination, repeated vomiting, or regular contractions before 37 weeks. Nausea, backache, heartburn and tiredness are common but still worth mentioning at check-ups. In an emergency, go to the nearest hospital emergency department instead of waiting for an appointment.
Your first visit begins with a detailed history: menstrual cycle, earlier pregnancies, medical conditions, medicines and family history. Expect a physical examination, blood pressure check and, where appropriate, ultrasound and blood tests. You will leave with a personalised visit schedule, diet and supplement guidance, and time to ask questions. Bring previous reports, prescriptions and vaccination records. Your partner or a family member is welcome to join.
