[What does the general practitioner expect from his colleague the gynecologist-obstetrician?]

The upgrading of pregnant women care, requires a change of mind. The question is to centre the pregnant woman in a complicated care system. The different intervening practicioners must learn how to work together, in the way of a coordonition care; each one knowing his own limits and acting as well as he could. 60% of pregnant women with a normal pregnancy could be ambulatory managed by their general practitioner, in a conjoined follow with the obstetrician. High risk and pathologic pregnancies would be priority followed into obstetrical hospital department, according to each woman requirement, in collaboration with her general practitioner. The conjoined follow experimentations show that they are successful on perinatal deathrate and morbidity decriment. It's time to take up this challenge.
