A specially trained hospital nursery nurse will attend all hospital deliveries. In certain situations your obstetrician will ask one of our team members, either a nurse practitioner or neonatologist, to be present at your delivery. This usually happens in situations such as Cesarean birth, premature birth, or any birth with the possibility of complications, so that we may immediately offer care to the child upon delivery.  If you have any concerns about your pregnancy and would like to have a neonatologist present at your delivery, please discuss the matter with your obstetrician.
