Although gynecology and obstetrics are closely related, they cover different medical fields. While gynecology mostly treats women of all ages that have various health issues, obstetrics deals with pregnant women and their health conditions. As a medical field, obstetrics covers pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

Obstetricians have the task of taking care of women who are trying to conceive, pregnant women, and women who have recently become mothers. Twin pregnancies and high-risk pregnancies require constant medical care, so it’s advisable that you have an experienced obstetrician who has cared for many of these patients, as Dr. Vagovic has.

At your first prenatal visit, Dr. Vagovic will first assess your health and ask you some general questions to identify possible health threats. In addition to this, he might run a few routine tests that are normally done at the beginning of every pregnancy including an ultrasound, blood work, a pelvic exam, and a physical exam. Depending on your particular lifestyle, Dr. Vagovic might suggest that some changes are made to ensure that your pregnancy goes without any serious health issues. If you’ve been drinking alcohol or smoking, you will be advised to stop immediately to make sure you and the baby stay safe and healthy.

If you have questions or concerns, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with us. Do not hesitate to consult Dr. Vagovic as he has a lot of experience in helping women carry their pregnancies to term, as well as providing necessary help and guidance throughout your pregnancy. Once the baby comes, Dr. Vagovic and our caring staff will be happy to provide you with support, information and advice during the post-partum period.
