Obstetrics nurse.

Answer 3

I don't think there's a specific name for the nurse that helps deliver babies. You just require a nursing degree, and I'm sure that you're allowed to pick an emphasis as a nurse, either caring for the old or babies. So just go for a nursing degree.

Answer 4

Have you considered becoming a midwife? A lot of moms are using them instead of going to the hospital for a traditional delivery.
