OB (Maternal Newborn)

The OB (Obstetrics) or Maternal Newborn Course breaks down the most important things you need to know to care for a client before, during, and after pregnancy. Every aspect is broken down into manageable chunks to eliminate confusion and overwhelm. We help you understand what common risks and complications are, how the baby grows and develops, and how to assess both mom and baby after the baby is born. We even talk about medications that are commonly given during pregnancy.
