Hi, Kosovare!
A few things to keep in mind.... these are different positions and both deal with a lot of unpredictability.

Neonatologist: http://medschool.ucla.edu/body.cfm?id=1158&action=detail&ref=992
Here's a brief overview for each position:
As an OB/GYN, you specialize in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and disorders that affect women, such as breast cancer, cervical cancer and menopause. Additionally, you work with expecting mothers throughout their pregnancies, during childbirth and into postpartum. These positions rotate to
Most pediatricians have enough training and experience to provide care to newborns, but when a baby is born prematurely or with medical issues, a neonatal physician offers specialized care. Neonatal physicians work in Neonatal Intensive Care Units, also known as NICUs. The neonatal physician diagnoses conditions in the newborn after birth, including breathing problems, infections and birth defects. Premature babies and those with major health issues count on the neonatal physician to coordinate and manage their health care.

I have been a gynecologist for 30 years. I work Monday-Friday 9-5. I have one full day in the operating room and one half day per week. I round at the hospital before seeing patients in my clinic. I occasionally see patients in the emergency room.
Neonatologists work much more in the hospital. They have to be on call for complicated deliveries and sick babies.
