Labor and Delivery

Talk with your healthcare provider

It is important to discuss any questions or concerns you have with your healthcare provider during prenatal care.

Let them know what you would like to have happen at the birth of your baby, including the type of pain relief you think you may prefer.

Keep in mind that your safety and the safety of your baby may direct your healthcare provider to quickly discuss a change in the plan of care.

It is best to keep open, honest and respectful communication with your healthcare team and we encourage you to stay flexible if circumstances change around your labor and birth.
