what type of surgeon delivers babies????

Question

I thought they were called Pediatricians but then i got told they deal with the babies AFTER they are born

Answer 1

Obstetrics deal with birth (and pre birth)
Gynaecology deal with 'down there'
Paediatrics deal with the babies when they are born and until they are adults.

Answer 2

Gynecologists catch babies. Midwives catch babies. In a pinch a fireman or policeman can do the catching. But the pregnant woman is the one who does the delivering. If it is a C-Section the doctor who does the cutting open is the gynecologist/obstetrician. (Usually a combo). Pediatricians take care of babies after they are born.

Answer 3

A midwife delivers a baby, a paediatrician is a doctor that specialises in children. A gynaecologist deals with intimate feminine areas. An obstetrician is another word for paediatrician.

Answer 4

An obstetrician. It is incorrect to say that only mid-wives deliver babies. Most general practitioners in the U.K. deliver babies also. Although these days it is more usual for the mid-wife to do it, as it `frees up` the doctor so that he can do more general medicine.

Answer 5

Obstetricians deliver babies. Obstetrics is the form of medicine which covers anything to do with pregnancy and delivery (surgical or not) and gynaecology deals with women's health (reproductive) so can be nothing to do with pregnancy eg dealing with endometriosis or polycystic ovaries)

Answer 6

Obstetrician.

Answer 7
