If you are asking about a nurse midwife they can take care of a woman during pregnancy (as long as there are no complications) and deliver her baby.
In the hospitals you have nurses that work in Labor and Delivery that help get the patient set up in the room (after she has registered) and put her on special monitors to check the intensity of contractions during the labor and the heart beat of the baby to see how the baby is doing as to how it is handling the process.
The nurse can also check up on other aspects of the patient care during the labor such as to see how far along she is and get in touch with the doctor when it's almost time to deliver, and carry out any orders for medication if ordered by the doctor.
