Obstetrics

The Obstetric Unit of San Donato Group provides women with 24/7 assistance by physicians specialized in obstetrics-gynaecology and experienced midwives. 

Normal spontaneous deliveries are assisted by midwives, supervised by obstetricians, who intervene in case of clinical indications. All individual cases (in particular those with maternal-fetal complications or abnormalities) are discussed within a multidisciplinary team including obstetricians and neonatologists, in order to to provide the best care for the mother and her baby. Particular care is taken in order to provide natural birth as well as complete maternal and fetal safety. More so, during elective cesarean sections we place maximum respect of physiological aspects of birth. 

The Obstetric Unit (both in outpatient service and inpatient ward) presents two components: one providing care and assistance to physiological pregnancies and the other clinical management to high-risk pregnancies with maternal and/or fetal complications (such as preeclampsia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cholestasis of pregnancy, medical problems such as autoimmune disorders and fetal or placental abnormalities). 

The Obstetric Unit also offers a dedicated course for accompaniment to birth, for expecting mothers and families conducted by certified psychologists.
