Labor & delivery

When to call the doctor
Your clinician will have specific advice on when you should call, so be sure to jot down notes regarding this. If you have any risk factors, your clinician may have very specific instructions regarding when to call the office and go to the birthing center. But here are some general guidelines: In an otherwise healthy pregnancy you should call your clinician –
  • when your water breaks (sometimes this is more a trickle than a gush of clear fluid)

    OR

  • when contractions are regular and lasting 30 to 60 seconds

    OR

  • if you have any bright red bleeding, with or without pain.
