Obstetric InfoHealth Information
The following patient education packets have been developed by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Designed as an aid to patients, they set forth current information and opinions on subjects related to women’s health. To ensure the information is current and accurate, the pamphlets are reviewed by ACOG every 18 months. The information in these pamphlets does not dictate an exclusive course of treatment, and should be used as a guide for discussions with your provider and loved ones.
