Pregnancy and birth are two of the most important events you will experience in your life. Both deserve careful and thoughtful preparation. Such activities as attending childbirth classes, having regular physician appointments, reading books, talking to others, and asking lots of questions will help you prepare for the birth of your baby. Learning as much as possible about pregnancy, birth, and parenthood will help you become relaxed and comfortable with all the changes in your body and in your life.
The prenatal information in this chapter is meant to help you learn about pregnancy and assist you with any decisions you will be making with your partner and OB practitioner about your care.
