I am worried about upcoming nrmp match - mostly because I am scared I won't match into ob-gyn. I need some good advice on what to do if I don't match. All I want to do is ob-gyn and I am not considering any other specialty. I am wondering if I should
a. scramble into pre-lim surgery spot at hospital I am interested in
b. scramble into pre-lim IM spot at hospital I am interested in
c. take year off to do research
d. scramble into FM or IM spot at hospital I am interested in to get more exposure with OB/Gyn faculty and residents even knowing that I will screw them over when I try to match into ob/gyn next year?
I can't seem to find anyone to help me with this. Any advice would be so appreciated!!!

I have no advice 🙁 Good luck. How many places did you rank? From reading on here it seems Ob/Gyn fills all spots. I understand if you only got a few interviews that you would be concerned. Hopefully you find out you matched in about two weeks!
