Pregnancy tests work by detecting HCG, often called the pregnancy hormone because it is made by cells formed in the placenta. Levels can first be detected by a blood test at your obgyn's office about 11 days after conception.

The OB Record provides clinicians with a means for documenting and viewing comprehensive clinical data on obstetric patients within the LMR. The OB Record uses current LMR functionality such as medications and allergies combined with OB specific data collection screens and decision support.

OB stands for obstetrics or obstetrician, a physician who cares for women and their babies during pregnancy and childbirth. GYN stands for gynecology or gynecologist, a physician who specializes in treating female reproductive conditions.

OB-GYN refers to the two fields of obstetrics and gynecology, so most people use the abbreviation OB-GYN to refer to their obstetrician and gynecologist. Gynecologists specialize in women's reproductive health, or anything to do with your female parts.

What's the difference between obstetricians and gynecologists? While OB/GYN is considered one specialty, it comprises two distinct fields. Obstetrics (the OB) involves care during pre-conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and immediately after delivery. Gynecology (the GYN) involves care of all women's health issues.

Finally, the abbreviation OB refers to an obstetrician and is used in patient care, medical documentation, medical billing, and coding. Obstetricians are physicians who focus on pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum care.
