Depends: Few family doctors may perform routine gyn exams but may not take care during pregnancy so check with your doc.

U probably mean: A perinatologist that is a doc who had OB residency then extra training to be subspecilaized in doing high risk pregnancies, most perinatologists will not do the delivery though, they usually work with your OB and your OB will do the delivery there are a few who will do the delivery.
