EN: obstetrician
The doctor who's with you through the whole pregnancy journey, from the first ultrasound 'kilig' to the final 'push!' moment in the delivery room. They're the VIPs of childbirth. This is the English term, often used interchangeably with the Tagalog 'obstetrisyan'.
From English "obstetrician".
This is the direct English loanword. 'Obstetrisyan' is the Filipinized spelling and is also very common. Often shortened to 'OB' or 'O.B-Gyne'.
