Obstetricians focus only on pregnant women, while gynaecologists treat for the health of female’s reproductive organ in general. A doctor with a focus on caring for patients before, during, and after childbirth is known as an obstetrician. They carry out operations relating to labour and delivery as well as treat disorders specific to pregnancy. In order to monitor and support a woman's proper delivery during labour, obstetricians must collaborate with midwives. They perform episiotomy, which entails making precise cuts over the pregnant woman's perineum to widen the birth route, to facilitate delivery.
