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.
Typically, the education and training for both fields occurs concurrently. 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.

obstetrics and gynecology. In other words its a doctor that takes care of women during their pregnancy (that's the OB part) and they also take care of a woman's genital and reproductive health (that's the gynecology part)

First of all, it's OB/GYN is two completely different types of doctors. OB is obstetrician and GYN is gynocologist.
An obstetrecian treats infants/children. A gynocologist treats females and pregnant females.
