The task of bringing new life into the world is among the most crucial tasks performed by labour and delivery (L&D) nurses. L&D nurses' main responsibility is to properly assist moms during the risky process of delivery while also delivering healthy newborns. They encourage and advise women on how to cope with the unpleasant process more easily as they guide moms through contractions. In the early postpartum period, L&D nurses also give care and direction to the mother. L&D nurses have a crucial and often very gratifying job to play.
The following are some of the tasks performed by a labour and delivery nurse:
-Continuously check the mother's and the infant's vital signs
