professionals to provide safe, compassionate, and effective care to
both mothers and newborns. Key Responsibilities: Pre-Labor and

histories, vital signs, and physical assessments. Perform
non-stress tests (NSTs), monitor fetal heart tones, and evaluate
uterine activity for signs of labor progression. Educate patients
on labor and delivery processes, pain management options, and what
to expect during childbirth. Labor Support and Monitoring: Monitor
the progress of labor through regular assessment of contraction
patterns, cervical dilation, fetal heart rate, and maternal vital
signs. Administer medications, including epidurals, Pitocin, and
pain relief options, as prescribed, and monitor their effects.
Provide continuous emotional support and pain management throughout
the labor process, using comfort measures, including positioning,
breathing techniques, and offering encouragement. Assist with
amniotomy, if necessary, and other procedures as directed by the
healthcare team. Assisting with Delivery: Assist obstetricians or
midwives during vaginal deliveries, including providing
instrumentation assistance, suctioning, and other necessary actions
during the birth. Participate in cesarean section procedures by
ensuring the sterile field, assisting with the delivery process,
and providing immediate newborn care after birth. Perform neonatal
resuscitation and initial assessment of the newborn’s health
immediately after delivery. Postpartum Care: Monitor the health and
recovery of both the mother and the newborn in the immediate
postpartum period, including assessing vital signs, bleeding, and
uterine tone. Assist with breastfeeding support, including teaching
proper latch techniques, positioning, and addressing any concerns
related to infant care. Provide education on postpartum recovery,
self-care, and newborn care, such as diapering, bathing, and
recognizing signs of illness. Documentation and Reporting: Document
all assessments, interventions, medications, and patient progress
accurately in the electronic health record (EHR) to maintain
compliance with hospital policies and legal standards. Maintain
accurate and timely records of labor and delivery processes,
including patient and fetal monitoring results. Collaboration and
Communication: Work closely with obstetricians, anesthesiologists,
neonatologists, and other healthcare team members to plan and
implement individualized care for each patient. Communicate clearly
with patients and families about the progress of labor, potential
complications, and available options, ensuring that informed
consent is obtained for procedures when necessary. Infection
Control and Safety: Follow infection control procedures to maintain
a safe and sterile environment for labor, delivery, and postpartum
care. Ensure that all equipment used during labor and delivery is
properly sterilized and functioning, including fetal monitoring
devices, IV pumps, and delivery instruments. Emergency and
High-Risk Situations: Recognize signs of complications, such as
fetal distress, preeclampsia, and hemorrhage, and initiate
appropriate interventions or escalate care as needed. Respond to
obstetric emergencies, such as shoulder dystocia, uterine rupture,
and neonatal resuscitation, utilizing appropriate protocols and
teamwork. Administer medications and interventions for high-risk
pregnancies, including managing complications like hypertension,
gestational diabetes, or infections. Patient Education and
Advocacy: Provide education and support to patients and families
