An obstetrician is a physician who has successfully completed specialized education and training in the management of pregnancy, labor, and pueperium (the time-period directly following childbirth).
A gynecologist is a physician who has a successfully completed specialized education and training in the health of the female reproductive system, including the diagnosis and treatment of disorders and diseases.
Thus, an obstetrician/gynecologist is a physician specialist who provides medical and surgical care to women and has particular expertise in pregnancy, childbirth, and disorders of the reproductive system. This includes preventative care, prenatal care, detection of sexually transmitted diseases, Pap test screening, and family planning.

Obstetricians.....
A little insight:
Obstetricians/Gynecologists (OB/GYN)
An OB/GYN is a physician devoted to conditions specific to women. Obstetrics is the care of a woman during pregnancy and during and after childbirth. Gynecology is the study and care of the female reproductive system. An OB/GYN specialist combines these two disciplines to provide comprehensive care for women. For colds, flu or other illnesses not specific to women, OB/GYNs may refer patients to a family practitioner or other appropriate specialist.

You would go to an Obstitritian/Gynocologist for routine check-ups throughout your pregnancy. He/she will make sure, that you and your baby are both healthy and talk about any concernes you may be having, etc. That same doctor would deliver the baby.
I think it would be a very rewarding career!!!

That would be a obstetrican/gynecologist. . . otherwise known as an OB/gyn.
I wanted to go into the medical field too and am currently a nursing assistant. . .it's an easy 6 weeks of schooling and then you are placed in the medical setting and i've learned about different fields by working directly in them.

Obstetrician.
In many states, midwives are also an option, and for many women, they are the preferred option because they will not "medicalize" the birth process.
Here are some links for info on midwives, and also for Michel Odent, a French obstetrician who for many decades has been pioneering the way to less medicalized hospital births. My wife and I met him many years ago and he had a profound influence on our decisions during my wife's first pregnancy.

Ob/gyne...ok, male nurses are so great...there must be a shortage of them...I have met three and two were fantastic for humor, help, understanding, it is a calling...the other is a neighbor who better pass the boards! My hat is off to all male nurses...

An obstetrician. They also usually practice gynecology. Thus the acronym, ob/gyn.

They are called an OB/GYN it would be that same doctor you would see to get a breast exam and a pap smear.
