Your healthcare provider is a hugely valuable resource for you as you head into the home stretch of pregnancy – get your questions ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the end in sight, your OB provider will be focused on helping you understand signs of labor and any other relevant reasons you may need to call or go to the hospital. There will be a lot of focus in the last weeks on how your baby\u2019s movements feel. If you notice a significant decrease in their activity or have concerns about their wellbeing, it\u2019s always okay to call your OB provider. Speaking of which, do you know how to contact them outside of office hours? Labor and other events can happen any time of day or night, so it\u2019s important to know what number to call, or if you\u2019re supposed to go straight to the hospital for help. You\u2019re getting so prepared in all the ways you need to!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of preparation, is your hospital bag ready for the big day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
