Emergency first
Any urgent warning sign in pregnancy or the year after birth: call your OB-GYN or midwife right away, go to Labor and Delivery, or call 911 in an emergency. The signs are on the warning signs page. Thoughts of harming yourself or your baby: call or text 988, or 1-833-TLC-MAMA.
My birth preferences
Tap what you want for labor and the first hours after birth. Print one dated page for your provider and the hospital. Nothing is stored or sent.
Think of these as preferences, not a plan: some may not be possible, you may change your mind in labor, and your provider may need other steps for your health or your baby's. Share the page with your provider well before your due date and leave a copy with the hospital or birth center. Source: MedlinePlus
