According to this article on healthcommunites.com, 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)." This is the OB in OB/GYN. This doctor helps the woman through her pregnancy and delivery. An obstetrician's job is to ensure a healthy and fast delivery of an expectant mother. This webpage seems to have reliable information and specific definitions, which is why I chose this website. More info can be found at the link below:
