Welcome to Obstetrics! This course was my absolute favorite and if you are at all interested in caring for newborns and mothers, this is the profession for you. Get ready to learn the ins and outs of what it means to be an Antepartum, L&D, and Postpartum nurse in this course. Below I have links to my notes, quizlets, and other resources that helped me earn an A in the class. Good luck :)

Overall, this is important because it helps determine the position of the fetus and the shape of the maternal pelvis can indicate whether the delivery is going to be complicated, or whether a caesarean section will be necessary.
