Keep asking questions

You likely have lots of questions as you near your due date. Is it OK to have sex? How will I know when I'm in labor? What's the best way to manage any pain? Should I make a birth plan?

Talk to your care team about all the questions you have. Knowing the answers can help calm you before delivery.

Be sure to ask members of your healthcare team about when you should call them, such as if you have vaginal bleeding or fluid leaking from the vagina. Also ask how to contact the team once labor begins.
