Question

Wat are the major books that I have to study to get my m.D. In obstetrics and gynecology?

Answer 1

Specialist training: Reproductive health is reproductive endocrinology and infertility (rei). Rei mds are sub-specialists: we train in obstetrics and gynecology (ob/gyn) then do advanced study of male & female hormonal conditions (endocrinology) and infertility testing and treatment including ivf. Rei should be board-certified, except a few older docs. Ob/gyns offer prenatal care, delivery, gynecologic care & surgery.

Answer 2

No: The earlier you seek prenatal care the better. If you have put off your first visit though now is the time. It is never too late.

Answer 3

Yes: But that doesn't mean you should not get prenatal care. Being over 20 weeks means you've missed certain critical evaluations (such as early dating ultrasounds, avoiding medications that can cause birth defects, blood tests that look for down's syndrome and spina bifida). But better late than never - get care as soon as possible.

Answer 4

Bring prenatal chart: Patients occasionally present to the emergency room while traveling. Head to the nearest emergency room if needed -- preferably one with a labor and delivery. Once you arrive the nursing staff will contact the on call physician for the hospital. One helpful thing you can do is have a copy of your prenatal chart available with you. This helps the staff take care of you in these circumstances.

Answer 5

Emergency room: I would suggest that if you experience any problems while travelling that you go to an er where the staff OB can attend to you and whatever issue that you may be experiencing.

Answer 6

Usually: Of course, it all depends. Some hospitals have midwives on staff. In these situations, midwives help manage uncomplicated deliveries for the l&d unit. In the case of a delivery with a midwife that does encounter complications, yes, a ob/gyn physician is available to help. If a midwife is in private practice and is not affiliated with a hospital, then, no, back up help may not be available.

Answer 7

Midwives consult OB: Midwives are usually required by law to have an OB on call in case complications occur. They often team up with obs for consultations as needed throughout a pregnancy and have relationships with hospitals to insure that all bases are covered during deliveries that may take place outside of a hospital setting.

Answer 8

Many do not : Great question. It is essential that you ask your midwife that exact question and make sure you clearly understand the protocol. Certified nurse midwives (cnm) generally do have a formal relationship with a doctor. We have one in our practice. Cpms (certified professional midwives) who are not allowed to work in hospitals generally do not have formal on call coverage. Make sure you understand this important difference.

Answer 9

Yes: Don't know what you are referring to specifically, or how far out since your surgery. Is it the abdominal wall where the skin incision was made or an internal pain, more likely associated with the uterus? Despite their frequency, cesareans are still major surgery, and it takes time to recover. Nevertheless, if pain increasing rather than decreasing with time, see your obgyn.

Answer 10

See OB from OR: A woman having pain after a cesarean section is encouraged by most doctors to call if problems. If possible, it is best to see the obstetrician who performed the surgery. If part of the practice of the main OB provider, then an exam from him or her would be ok because they can usually get records from or speak with surgeon.

Answer 11

Your OB/and an endoc: Your OB doc and if needed a consult with endocrinologist.
