When the big day arrives, nurses or labor coaches will help you through the hard work of labor, but your OB will monitor your progress and, when the time comes, deliver your babies. If your OB is in a group practice where the doctors share on call duties, another doctor in the group may deliver your babies.
Obstetrical care often is provided by an OB/GYN or a trained health care provider. In addition, it is quite common for the father-to-be or a close friend or family member to serve as a labor coach to help and encourage the pregnant woman during labor and delivery.
