OB-GYNs, or obstetrician-gynecologists, are board-certified in obstetrics, which means they can provide the care you need during pregnancy, childbirth, and your recovery period following birth. Our OBs can also perform cesarean sections for scheduled or emergency situations.
It may seem that you see your provider more often than your closest friends during pregnancy. It’s just to make sure that you and your baby are healthy.
A pregnancy is divided into three phases, called trimesters. Each trimester has its own significant milestones. The first trimester is the most fragile period, during which all major organs and systems are formed. Most birth defects and miscarriages occur during the first trimester. During the second and third trimester, the fetus is fully formed and grows and matures rapidly.
