Delivering your baby
The time has finally arrived and you are ready to begin the 'active' phase of your labour. We understand your family will play an important role in this process and we encourage you to have your support person or partner with you throughout your labour and delivery.
We encourage you to drink plenty of fluids during your labour. If you feel comfortable doing so, you may also get up and walk around. Your vital signs, contractions and dilatation along with your baby's heart rate will be monitored by your nurse during this time. The nurse will keep your primary care provider informed at all times. When it is time to deliver, your doctor or midwife will be present.
