What is obstetrics?

Obstetrics specializes in women’s health needs throughout pregnancy. This includes prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postpartum care.

Prenatal care

Prenatal care, or pregnancy care, is the team’s medical monitoring that guides you throughout your pregnancy.

Labor and delivery

Obstetrics at Catalyst Medical Group also includes labor and delivery. Our Obstetrics team includes physicians and midwifery services. We deliver babies at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Lewiston, Idaho. 

Postpartum care

Postpartum care follows you through the first 6 weeks after the baby is born, while adjusting to a different life at home. Making sure you’ve healed well, breastfeeding is going smoothly and monitoring you for postpartum depression.

What can I expect during obstetrics visits?

You can expect patient-focused obstetrics care from the team at Catalyst Medical Group. The specifics of your care depend on your stage of pregnancy, personal medical history, and whether your pregnancy is low or high risk.

Your first prenatal visit sets the stage for your obstetrics care. At this exam, the team asks detailed questions about your medical and family history and your partner’s medical history.  

They do a physical and pelvic exam and run tests to assess health, confirm pregnancy, and estimate the due date. The team talks to you about your pregnancy and answers all of your questions.

• Prenatal screenings and lab tests
• Ultrasound
