Obstetric medicine

Obstetric medicine, sometimes maternal medicine, is a subspecialty of general internal medicine and obstetrics that specialises in the dealing with physical health problems in pregnant women. It is closely related to the specialty of maternal-fetal medicine, although obstetric medicine does not directly care for the foetus.

Obstetric physicians may provide care for chronic medical conditions that precede the pregnancy (such as epilepsy, asthma or heart disease), or for new medical problems that develop while the pregnancy is already in progress (such as gestational diabetes, and hypertension). Formal subspeciality training in obstetric medicine is currently offered in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and Canada.
