What medical staff is in the delivery room? The doctor, a midwife, a nurse? This is in reference to my career.

Question

I am interested in knowing the correct name. I'm not sure if the labor and delivery nurse is in the room as well.

Answer 1

Would usually be an ob/gyn or a midwife, and L&D nurse.  Might also have a doula.  And if there were complicatons requiring a c/section, then an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist as well.  And of course the partner!
