Asked Feb 18, 2012, 08:30 PM — 1 Answer
is it hard to become an obstetrician ? what kind of training will I need? what classes should I take in high school that will help me reach my goal? I have been birthing animals since I was a little girl and I want to enjoy human birth as much as I do animal births.

Hi autumn19,

You can expect a great deal of schooling ahead, but it would be well worth it! Work towards being strong in the sciences when in high school. You would work towards becoming a medical doctor then specialize in obstetrics.

Here are a couple of sites to give you some idea:

Another option would be to train as a nurse midwife or midwife. Here is some info for that as well:
