During the course of the pregnancy, a minimum of 4 antenatal checkups at the hospital are a must. But preferably, a total of 50 checkups are suggested. The span being, for the first 28weeks, once a month, then from 28 to 36 weeks, every two weeks and then from 36 weeks onwards, every week.
However, after the delievery, at the moment itself, the basic checkup of the child is necessary, which may include recording the child's birth weight, mother's health, etc.
Now, depending upon the child's and the mother's condition, the further follow up schedule is planned, which is highly variable, depending upon the case. If everything is absolutely normal and healthy, actually very few or no further checkups might be needed, apart from the child' regular immunization schedule visits.

Obstetrics is the field where you are dealing with mothers who are expecting babies, and helping them with their personal care in the time that is leading up to the delivery. These nurses are the ones that help with the labor and delivery of the baby(ies). They are the ones that work on the babies that come out of the mother. If needed the obstetrics nurse would pass the baby off to the neonatology team if there should be any specific problems with the baby.
