I have a few qs for docs who are 'general practice'. whats the difference between gp and ob for pregnant woman?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Level of expertise: General practitioners cover all aspects of medical care; this sometimes includes management of pregnancy and labor and delivery. Obstetricians are specifically trained in the management of pregnancy/labor/delivery and are ususally able to handle most pregnancies, including complicated ones. Maternal-fetal specialists only deal with complicated pregnancies.
