They're just regular old nurses who specialize in labor and delivery. Their correct title is NeoNatal Nurse. I don't think they let LPNs (licensed practical nurses) do this...I believe all L&D nurses are RNs (registered nurses). The difference is that RNs have considerably more schooling than LPNs. They can give injections, start IVs, and much more. LPNs only take temps., give out pills, sponge baths, etc.

A Labor and Delivery Nurse (L&D) will probably be who attends you in labor.
DON'T send your baby to the nursery unless there is a medical reason to do so. Your baby needs to be with you so you can bond and learn baby's feeding cues and get breastfeeding established.
To the first guy.....
A midwife doesn't help the doctor deliver the baby. A midwife is an alternative to a doctor.
