What do Perinatal Registered Nurses do?

Perinatal Registered Nurses provide specialized care to women and their newborns from the beginning of pregnancy through the first month of the infant’s life. 

They monitor the health of the mother and fetus, educate families about pregnancy and newborn care, provide support during labor and delivery, and assist with postpartum recovery. 

These nurses work in various settings, collaborating with physicians, midwives, and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive and compassionate care for families during this critical time.  

What they do

Prenatal Care: Monitor the mother’s and fetus’s health, conduct prenatal tests, and provide education on maintaining a healthy pregnancy. 

Labor and Delivery: Provide support to the mother during labor, assist with childbirth, and manage complications that may arise during the delivery process. 

Postpartum Care: Support the mother and her family during the postpartum period by teaching parents about newborn care and breastfeeding and assisting with the transition to parenthood. 

Education and Support: Educate patients and their families about childbirth options, healthy pregnancy practices, and newborn care techniques to foster a supportive environment. 

Collaboration: Work closely with obstetricians, nurse-midwives, and other members of the multidisciplinary healthcare team to ensure the optimal care of the mother and baby. 

Managing Complications: Assess and manage high-risk pregnancies and potential complications during pregnancy, labor, or the postpartum period.
