OB/GYN
Pregnancy medical specialist
OB/GYN is a physician specializing in obstetrics and gynecology—the medical fields covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the female reproductive system.
The abbreviation serves as both a title for the doctor and a shorthand for the specialty itself: I have an appointment with my OB/GYN, She's going into OB/GYN.
Also written ob-gyn or OBGYN.
