If possible, it’s best to stay pregnant for at least 39 weeks so your baby has time to fully develop. With the birth of your baby so near, you may begin to feel a variety of emotions, including excitement, anxiety, happiness, and fear. All of these feelings are normal. You may wonder,“How do I know if I’m in labor?”or “What will having a baby be like?”  \nYou can’t know beforehand exactly what the birth of your baby will be like because every birth is different. However, knowing what to expect can help.  \nLABOR IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERY WOMAN  \nNobody can predict when your labor will start, how long it will last, or what it will be like. It can be helpful to write down what will be important to you during your childbirth experience. A birth plan is one way to communicate your preferences for labor and delivery with the hospital staff. Ask your doctor for the Health Note Your Birth Plan, and discuss your preferences. Your provider can tell you about any health considerations or hospital policies that may affect your experience. A birth plan can also help you think about different options if your labor doesn’t go as you had imagined. You will probably have a more positive childbirth experience if you try to be flexible in your expectations.  \nFor more information about labor and delivery,","cbCaiqWNOuW0GzuG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqWNOuW0GzuG","pdf",650203,8,"English","# Today’s appointment\n# Next appointment\n# What to expect during labor and birth\n# Partner’s corner\n## Labor and delivery\n## Cameras in the delivery room\n# Staying healthy during pregnancy and beyond","[{\"question\":\"What will the doctor check during the 36-week appointment?\",\"answer\":\"The doctor checks blood pressure and weight, measures abdominal size for baby growth, listens to the heartbeat, checks baby movements and position, and discusses labor signs and when to go to the hospital.
