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.

Someone should become a nurse because they want to. Nobody should become a nurse if they do not want to.
