Hi, As a man, here's my understanding, in basic terms. obstetrician - a doctor for pregnant women gynaecologist - a doctor for women's problems But perhaps someone will offer a woman's point of view. Best wishes, Clive

I think I prefer to think of the gynaecologist as taking care of women's health, not women's problems, but yes.
I believe every OB is also a GYN. Not every GYN chooses to be an OB (often due to malpractice insurance and the great likelihood of very irregular hours).
