Obstetric Cholestasis (OC) or Intraheptic Cholestasis of pregnancy is a disorder that is unique to pregnancy (Kelly and Nelson-Piercy, 2000).OC classically presents in the third trimester (Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists [RCOG], 2006), With maternal pruritus and raised bile acids (Geenes and Williamson, 2009).It is one of the few disorders of pregnancy that can affect both maternal well being and fetal outcome. OC usually resolves forty eight hours after delivery (Mays, 2010).
Obstetrics is the part of healthcare that deals with the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. In class lecture this week, I have learned several things in obstetrics. The first is that every female has a uterus to incubate a fetus. This uterus grows so that the baby can grow and be protected. The uterus also contains fluid called amniotic fluid that protects baby. The baby swims in this fluid for the entire time it is in uterus. Then along comes the placenta. The

Philip Green said, “It’s all about the quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family.” Statistics have shown me that employment of physicians and obstetrics is projected to grow 14% from 2014 to 2024. Obstetrics is the key to making sure pregnant women have someone to lean on and making the importance
sensations like hiccups. What a mother can’t do is actually see their little bundle of joy without having an ultrasound preformed. This paper will go over a brief history of obstetric ultrasound along with a slight explanation of why they are performed and include the benefits along with the possible risks of the procedure.

you’ve heard the horror stories about giving birth. Unfortunately, when it comes to me, who works with (assists) an obstetric anaesthesiologist, I’ve both seen and heard of the horrific pain women experience during childbirth. I have since then wondered why giving birth is so painful. If evolution favours reproduction, shouldn’t they make the process a little easier? The obstetric dilemma hypothesis seemed to provide an explanation (answer) to my question. The female pelvis plays an important role
In recent years, midwifery and obstetrics have become two of the most prominent and primary ways of care for women of childbearing age in comparison to unassisted births and other documented methods. Although midwifery is not as prevalent as obstetrics, there is a rise in midwifery today. In the United States women and their partners are faced with the choice of who should provide care before, during and after pregnancy. As of today there has been a rise in how many births are attended by nurse midwives

Fahad Syed 991541355 Risk Management in Obstetrics Introduction Obstetrics is defined as the branch of medicine which deals with the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the period during which they recover from childbirth (Agency for healthcare research and quality, 2000). The major factor that makes obstetrics a high risk area is expectation. The majority of women who are about to give birth tend to be young and healthy (Clements, 2001). Naturally, they expect to give birth to
fetus for the first time. It’s fascinating to think that a small machine can process out a live image of the inside of a woman womb. Having the ability to get an image of a growing fetus was not always possible. It wasn’t until the mid-1950’s that obstetric ultrasound was introduced. (add reference) Before this woman had to struggle not knowing anything about their developing child. There was no way for them to find out the estimate age of the pregnancy, administer the growth, or the wellbeing of the
