After nine months of incredible growth and changes both in the mother and the fetus, labor (contractions of the uterus) may finally start, signaling the pending birth of the baby. Many women fear the prospect of delivering their child. Part of this fear may be attributed to the unknown, especially in first pregnancies. Instead, be proactive and consider discussing the following questions with your physician before labor begins:
- When will labor begin?
- How long will labor last?
- How much pain is involved in delivering a baby?
- Will the birth hurt the baby in any way?
