Prenatal nurses are there to treat patients, who are children. They ensure that their patients are comfortable and that they are receiving the best care.

Maternal to fetal infections are transmitted from the mother to her fetus, either across the placenta during fetal development (prenatal) or during labor and passage through the birth canal (perinatal).
That is the correct spelling of the adjective "perinatal" (around the time of birth).

Perinatal transmission is more likely if the waters break prematurely.
Peri is a suffix that means about. So perinatal would mean about the time of birth.
Perinatal care refers to the comprehensive medical and supportive services provided to mothers and their infants during the perinatal period, which typically spans from the 20th week of pregnancy through the first month after birth. This type of care focuses on the health and well-being of both the mother and the newborn, addressing physical, emotional, and social needs. It includes prenatal check-ups, labor and delivery support, postnatal care, and education on infant care. The goal of perinatal care is to ensure healthy pregnancies and positive outcomes for both mothers and their children.
The perinatal mortality rate is calculated using the formula: [ \text{Perinatal Mortality Rate} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of perinatal deaths}}{\text{Total number of births (including stillbirths)}} \right) \times 1,000 ] Perinatal deaths include stillbirths and deaths within the first week of life. This rate is typically expressed per 1,000 total births.
The word perinatal means relating to a period slightly before and after birth. This is usually considered to be a couple of weeks.
Perinatal asphyxia can occur a long time before birth, shortly before birth, during delivery, or after birth
