An obstetrician is a specialist who deals with?

• A. Pregnancy and childbirth
• B. Pediatrics
• C. Dermatology
• D. Orthopedics

Answer: (A)

Obstetrics focuses on pregnancy and childbirth. An obstetrician provides care for expectant mothers throughout pregnancy, monitors fetal development, guides labor and delivery, and manages the postpartum period, including any complications that arise. This specialty is distinct from pediatrics, which cares for infants and children after birth; dermatology, which deals with the skin; and orthopedics, which focuses on bones and joints. In many settings, obstetricians work with gynecologists as OB-GYNs, combining care for pregnancy with broader reproductive health.
