What is obstetrics?

Obstetrics is an area of medicine that specializes in the health needs of people during pregnancy. This care includes:

Pre-pregnancy counseling

If you have future pregnancy plans, you may benefit from pre-pregnancy counseling at OB/GYN Associates of Conroe. This health visit is all about making sure you’re as healthy as possible at the start of your pregnancy.

Prenatal care

Prenatal care is the ongoing medical care and monitoring you need throughout your entire pregnancy. Early and regular visits with Dr. Roberts ensure you and your baby stay as healthy as possible throughout your pregnancy.

Delivery

Obstetrics at OB/GYN Associates of Conroe also includes the delivery of your baby. Dr. Roberts is a skilled obstetrician who offers many delivery options, including natural delivery and vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC).

Postnatal care

Dr. Roberts continues to monitor your health and well-being after you give birth to the baby with postnatal care. He also provides gynecologic services to manage your health beyond the birth of your baby.

What can I expect during obstetrics care?

You can expect compassionate and patient-centered obstetrics care at OB/GYN Associates of Conroe. Dr. Roberts takes a collaborative approach to your pregnancy because you are the most important part of the medical team.

He spends time talking to you about your health, what you can expect during your pregnancy, and the types of testing you need. Dr. Roberts also talks to you about your birth plan and does his best to make sure he follows your preferences when possible. 

For your convenience, OB/GYN Associates of Conroe has in-house ultrasound testing, including 3D obstetric ultrasounds. 

What are some health issues that benefit from obstetrics?

Dr. Roberts is an experienced and skilled physician who can manage any type of pregnancy. However, he specializes in managing high-risk pregnancies. Your pregnancy is high risk if you:

• Are younger than 17 or older than 35
• Have a chronic health condition
• Are carrying multiple babies (twins, triplets)
• Have a history of frequent miscarriages
• Develop gestational diabetes or preeclampsia during pregnancy

Women with a high-risk pregnancy may require more frequent office visits, additional testing, or specific delivery plans. Dr. Roberts can manage any and all aspects of your high-risk pregnancy, ensuring you and your baby get the best care possible.
