Gynaecologist

Hi.

What do we call a doctor who has studied to deal with pregnancy and the related stuff?

Is gynaecologist the right word? do we have any more specific word for that?

Thanks

Obstetrician.

Many practice medicine dealing with pregnancy and female health and are abbreviated as Ob/Gyn.

And oddly, unlike many abbreviations, there is no attempt to "say" this. It's say "oh-bee-gee-why-en", not "ob-gen" or something like that.

Even though I have no intention of EVER needing obstetrics services, I still refer to a visit to the doctor at that practice as visiting my oh-bee-gee-why-en.
