Pregnancy Care: OBGYN vs. General Physician - Who Should You See?
The correct answer is an OBGYN.
An OBGYN (obstetrician-gynecologist) is a medical professional who specializes in women's health, including pregnancy, childbirth, and reproductive health. They are the most qualified doctors to provide care for pregnant women and should be seen as soon as a pregnancy is confirmed. A normal physician, such as a family doctor or internist, may not have the specialized knowledge and training necessary to properly care for a pregnant woman.
