Obstetrics

The field of obstetrics therefore deals with the well-being of the pregnant woman as well as childbirth and healthy outcomes. Obstetricians work closely with pediatricians and neonatologists to take care of newborn care to reduce the risk of newborn death and illness. Obstetricians are responsible for working in conjunction with midwives to monitor and facilitate normal delivery for a woman during labor. Their duties include facilitating childbirth by performing an episiotomy which involves placing strategic cuts on the pregnant woman's perineum to enlarge the birth canal.
