Obstetrics and Gynecology

Obstetrics and Gynecology (often abbreviated and colloquially referred to as OB/GYN, O&G or Obs & Gyne) are the two surgical specialties combined to form a single specialty, with gynecology dealing with the female reproductive organs, and obstetrics dealing with the care of the woman and her offspring during pregnancy, childbirth and for a period of time following birth.

Obstetrics and Gynecology has several sub-specialties, including reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) and maternal-fetal medicine.

Notes and Trivia

 * Naomi does not practice OB/GYN exclusively, as her practice initially needed an OB/GYN. She seems to only practice OB/GYN as it relates to her REI patients.
 * OB/GYN is sometimes disparaged as the "Gynie Squad" or the "Vagina Squad".
