"neonatal" means newborn ("neo" means new, and "natal" means birth).
"perinatology" means the science of before, during and immediately after birth. ("peri" means around, "natal" means birth, and "-ology" means the study of something).
So a Neonatal-Perinatologist would be a doctor who specializes in babies just before, during and right after birth.

Neonatal refers to the newborn period of a baby's life.
Perinatal refers also--mostly--to the period of a baby's life while they're still in the womb.
