Obstetrics
Obstetrics deals with the care of women's reproductive tracts
and their children during pregnancy, childbirth and the
postnatal period.
It is the number of times the mother has been pregnant, regardless of whether these
pregnancies were carried to term.
A primigravida or gravida 1 is a woman who is pregnant for the first time or has been
pregnant one time.

Gestation
Post maturity is when a baby has not yet been born after 42 weeks
of gestation.
It refers to which anatomical part of the fetus is leading, that is, is closest to the
pelvic inlet of the birth canal just before the birth. According to the leading part,
this is identified as a cephalic, breech, or shoulder presentation.
Malpresentation
Malposition
Chadwick's sign:
Dark-blue or purple discoloration of the mucosa of the
vagina and cervix during pregnancy.
Happens due to hormonal changes of pregnancy.
.
SVD
Delivery of a baby through an abdominal incision rather than through the vagina.
Mother has already had a previous Cesarean delivery, and this is a repeat Cesarean birth.
VBAC : Vaginal Birth After Cesarean.
The mother has had a previous Cesarean delivery but has now delivered vaginally.
There is a small amount of risk (less than 1%) that the old surgical scar on the
uterus will rupture when a VBAC is attempted, so mothers who wish to attempt a
VBAC must understand the risks and sign an "informed consent" that shows they
are aware of the risks/benefits.
The doctor applies a suction cup to the baby's head and gently draws it out, when
the mother is too tired to push effectively any more but the baby is very low in
the pelvis.
Miscarriage
Pruritis Gravidarum:
It is the itching during pregnancy.
Postnatal Blues:
UV Prolapse:
It is the type of prolapse in with uterus descend with the
inversion of vaginal apex.
Uterovaginal Prolapse
