Neonatal nurse is after the baby is first born.
Prenatal nurse is before the baby is born.
Neonatal nurses don't help deliver babies. They take them right after they are born to clean them, weigh them, etc.
Prenatal nurses help around the OB office weighing women, taking histories, blood pressure, measuring their tummies, stuff like that.

Neonatal literally means "new born", so neonatal nurses take care of the brand new babies. Prenatal literally means "before birth", so they take care of the pregnant women. The nurses that help deliver the babies are obstetrical nurses.

-Neonatal nurses take care of babies right after they are born.
-Prenatal nurses take care of babies before they are born.
-Obstetricians are the ones that actually help to deliver the babies.

They are called Nursery nurse.
