Pregnancy Planning Checklists

Pregnancy ChecklistDo you get that feeling that you are missing something? That there is something on your list of things too do and get that you just seem to be forgetting? Perhaps its just that you are feeling a little overwhelmed with everything, especially the hundreds of "best" baby products which are out there on the market.

Well you needn't worry anymore! We have put together a series of tried and tested checklists for you to ensure that you have not forgotten anything.

Ten Questions to Ask Your OBGYN

Which hospitals do you work in?
How many doctors/midwives are working with you?
Are you planning any trips around the time of my due date?
If you are not available to deliver my baby, who will step in?
Can I meet the substitute?
At what point during labor can I arrive at the hospital?
How do you deal with emergency calls?
What is your fee structure, and how soon after your birth will you be expecting payment?
What portion of your fees can I claim from my health insurer?
If my labor turns out to be straight forward, are you comfortable with birthing preferences?
