Call first: Many physicians who are not obstetricians do provide OB services (but some do not). So, if you elect to do this, I would find out beforehand if that is within the provider's scope of practice. You could always wait and have all services covered by the OB/ GYN

Wait: If you are having a problem with this pregnancy such as bleeding or pain, please communicate that to the OB GYN MD who can then move up your appointment.
