A Parents and Children series of 15 programmes looking at the emotional and physical experience of pregnancy and the first weeks of life.
7: Getting ready for the birth. How do I know when labour has started? When should I go into hospital? What pain relief is available? Should the father stay for the delivery? CLAIRE WOOLFORD asks the questions that become more important as the big day approaches, and finds out what you need to know about the actual delivery.
