Preparing for childbirth

Just as prenatal development occurs in several stages, so does labor and birth of a baby. When you schedule your appointment, remember to discuss your pregnancy and birth preferences with your obstetrician or nurse midwife before labor begins.

Together, you and your doctor will discuss your preferences for labor, birth and immediately after birth. But remember, labor is a series of changing events, and at times a medical necessity requires a change from the plan.
