Delivery Details: What to Know About Giving Birth.
One of the biggest questions on the mind of a mom-to-be is “How will my labor and delivery go?” While there’s no way to know for sure, we can give you an idea of how things usually happen, whether it’s a vaginal birth, VBAC (vaginal birth after C-section), or C-section. We even have tips for labor partners and first-time moms, too.
The more you know about the labor and delivery process — including what to expect and what your options are — the more prepared you’ll feel once the big day finally arrives.
