Obstetricans are doctors who specialise in delivering babies and caring for pregnant women. Obstetricians usually also train in Gynaecology, which is a specialty dealing with the health of the female reproductive system (ovaries, uterus, cervix, vagina). Obstetricians may practice in both Obstetrics and Gynaecology, or they may only deal with Obstetrics. Some GPs do extra training in obstetrics (in addition to their GP specialty training), and are known as GP Obstetricians.
