skilled in managing both routine and high-risk pregnancies,
monitoring fetal and maternal well-being, and assisting with

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. 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

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. 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.
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. Provide education and support
