Strategy Number 1: Get Help with This Decision

It is very hard to gauge your own labor if you haven’t had a baby before. Without help, you are not likely to be able to tell how far dilated you are and how much longer labor is likely to be. Your best bet is to have a midwife or doula come to your home to assess your labor. Midwives and doulas have different sets of skills, but either can help determine when it is time to go to the hospital. If you have made no arrangements with a midwife or doula, try to find a friend who has given birth naturally to help. If you would prefer to rely on your partner to fulfill this role, please assure yourself that your partner has read and understood this chapter and has taken notes in your childbirth-preparation classes.
