Hi Rocio! I’m sorry no one’s answered your question yet. We're working hard to get it answered by Professionals with the best insights, but in the meantime I've included a link to a relevant Q&A here on CareerVillage.org that should be super helpful for you to read through.

This is a great question, and something very important to think about when choosing a career path. I worked in the OB in the hospital setting prior to going to medical school. OB is also part of general medical training, so even though I am not going into that specialty, I do have a lot of experience with it.

Any patient-care focused field in medicine will have a demanding schedule, especially during training. However, after your medical school and residency there are opportunities for a more balanced life, however this may limit what fields are open to you...
