text: what would a typical day be like as an obstratricion?   the obstetricians day varies depending on how many women are ready to deliver. the doctor does rounds in the morning/afternoon/whenever he/she has time, sees patients in the clinic setting, goes to labor and deliver to take care of the expectant mothers, maybe there's a scheduled c-section to perform, follows up on women who have already delivered etc. one note obstetricians don't necessarily take care of high risk pregnancies, physicians who have done a fellowship in maternal fetal medicine (mfm) usually care for the high risk women...although doctors trained in ob/gyn aren't precluded from doing so. so the answer is, there is no real typical day. babies tend to come when they want to..
