(2) The obstetric situations demanding action from the obstetrician are not rarely correlated or due to pathologic behavior at birth.
(3) Obstetrician-gynecologists must place lymphocytic adenohypophysitis in the differential diagnosis of pituitary enlargement associated with pregnancy, since treatment is available and the sequelae may be life-threatening.
(4) Important considerations for the obstetrician concerning hereditary antithrombin III deficiency are discussed, including: 1) the need to therapeutically anticoagulate these patients postpartum, 2) the need to consider prophylactic anticoagulation throughout pregnancy especially in patients with a history of thrombosis, 3) the practical aspects of assaying antithrombin III in plasma rather than serum, 4) the normally low antithrombin III levels in normal newborns, and 5) the need to provide prepregnancy counseling, including information about the autosomal dominant inheritance of hereditary antithrombin III deficiency.
(5) The purposes of this study were to identify the components of prenatal care given by family practice physicians and obstetricians in a rural area and determine whether they were in agreement with standards of care advanced by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).

(9) These effects of governmental restrictions on abortion do indeed interfere with the obstetrician's basic goal of providing optimal care for the patient and undermine their efforts to improve maternal and infant health.
(10) A minimum management regimen is proposed to be used in conjunction with the private obstetrician's clinical judgment and expertise.
(11) The major issues of such training are manpower considerations and the time committed to the subspecialty, its effect on research and whether the generalist obstetrician and gynaecologist has been disadvantaged by such an initiative.
(12) The generalist obstetrician and gynaecologist wishing to treat endometrial carcinoma must be fully conversant with current developments in gynaecological cancer therapy.
(13) In the case of prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal aberrations, the obstetrician has to determine the high risk situation for which a fetal karyotype examination has to be done.
(14) Other methods by which the obstetrician may contribute to reducing the risk are discussed.
(15) This rapid technique for karyotyping allows the obstetrician to decide early how the pregnancy should be conducted.
(16) Physical care is provided by a team of nurse-midwives, obstetricians, pediatricians, and ancillary health personnel.
(17) Professor Susan Bewley, consultant obstetrician at King's College London , notes that pregnancies in older mothers are more likely to be as a result of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and that women who conceive via ART have a higher chance of having pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, preterm birth and caesarean section.
(18) As with any complex medical problem, once pregnant, these patients are best managed with a team approach, involving the obstetrician, internist, neonatologist, and social worker.
(19) The TLU was well tolerated by the patients; only two patients refused the TLU pending discussion of the technique with their obstetrician.
(20) The health minister Dr Dan Poulter, who is also an obstetrician, welcomed the improvements in the survey but said: "In some cases new mums are not getting enough care."
