In NY where I live, you don't need to "specialize." There are many, many FNPs working in women's health. Mostly they worked in L&D, antepartum/postpartum, or an outpatient OB/GYN office as RNs prior to or while studying to be an NP. The FNP program has an OB/GYN component and, at least in my program, you could complete as many extra hours as you chose if you especially liked or felt weak in an area.
