Obstetrics

What does obstetrics include?

Obstetrics is a field of medicine specializing in pregnancy and childbirth. When you choose the obstetrics experts at Women’s Health Care Center of Houston, you get a team of knowledgeable, caring professionals behind you. 

Their obstetricians walk with you through every step of your pregnancy, helping you feel comfortable and informed with prenatal care while preparing for your birthing process at the hospital of your choice.  

What should I expect during prenatal care?

When you start with prenatal care at Women’s Health Care Center of Houston, you get a schedule of appointments throughout your pregnancy. This way, you know when you’ll have time with your obstetrician to address questions as they arise. 

These regular check-ins with your obstetrician also ensure your baby thrives while keeping you informed about what to expect during each successive phase of your pregnancy. 

At some of your appointments, your obstetrician uses ultrasound to see inside your womb. Women’s Health Care Center of Houston has an ultrasound machine at their office, so you don’t have to visit a separate doctor’s office or the hospital. 

As you move through prenatal care, your provider screens you for potential pregnancy complications. If any do arise, they offer treatment to protect your baby and your health. 

At every stage of your pregnancy, your obstetrician walks with you, helping you rest easy as your baby grows. 

Can you help me get set up at the hospital?

Absolutely. The team at Women’s Health Care Center of Houston offers pre-delivery meetings at the two hospitals where their obstetricians have privileges: Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center and Houston Methodist West Hospital. 

You can choose the right hospital for you based on location, your insurance, and your personal preferences. 

During the pre-delivery meeting, you (and your partner, if applicable) get an opportunity to understand the hospital admissions process so you can easily navigate it when you’re in labor. 

You also get to meet the labor and delivery staff that will serve alongside your obstetrician as you bring your baby into the world.
