Flash back a few years to when I went from absolutely losing it that the birth pool wasn’t ready, to having a baby in that pool a few minutes later 😅
Did you have a water birth? Tell me about it in the comments!

Hmm…
✨I see many babies coming in October 🔮 ✨

All jokes aside what do you do if you’re expecting your baby right now? Most people in this region are planning hospital births, and with a storm like this coming it’s reasonable to be worried about going into labor!

First, call your healthcare provider and speak with them about your fears. They likely have specific protocols to follow and recommend.

Be ready to leave for the hospital at a moment’s notice. That means have your bags packed, gas tank full, infant car seat in the car, and someone close by for childcare.
Keep cell phones charged and be sure to have a car charger in the car.
Put the hospital/birth center address in your GPS now, print out the route in case cell towers aren’t working during the storm.

Be prepared for a possible roadside birth. Read up on emergency birth and pack an emergency kit. Some items to include in that might be a small tarp or waterproof sheet, several towels and blankets, chux pads/puppy pads, drinking water, warm clothes for you and baby.

If you think labor is imminent (you’re past your due date, close to your normal birthing gestation, or have been having signs of early labor) consider moving closer to the birthing facility before the storm. Get a hotel room or stay with a friend.

If labor does start during the storm, leave when you are in early labor rather than waiting for any specific contraction pattern or pain level.
If your labor is rapid-fire, consider calling for an ambulance -especially if you don’t have a 4-wheel drive vehicle. It is safer to deliver in your home with emergency personnel present or on their way and avoid the risk of an accident on a slippery road.

I’m happy to see the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology beginning to build bridges with midwives and out of hospital providers.

ACOG “encourages institutions with labor and delivery units to establish mutually respectful and collaborative relationships with out-of-hospital birth attendants in their community to construct patient-centered transfer protocols, education, and simulation to optimize quality and safety of birth in their region of practice.”
