Having the baby

Giving birth - stages of labour
You're unlikely to mistake the signs of labour when the time comes, but if you're in any doubt don't hesitate to contact your midwife.

Pain relief during labour
Learn what options are available to you to relieve pain during labour pain, and how your birth support partner can help you.

Fetal monitoring
During labour, your baby's heart rate is constantly monitored to check for any signs of distress.

Giving birth to twins
Twins are more likely to be born early, often before 38 weeks, so it's important to understand your birth options.
