As a labor and delivery nurse, I have seen it all. I have seen women give birth in all sorts of different ways, from natural unmedicated births to emergency C-sections. I have seen women who were terrified to give birth, and I have seen women who were calm and confident. I have seen women who had long, difficult labors, and I have seen women who had short and easy labors. But no matter what the circumstances, I have always been there to support and guide my patients through the birth of their babies.

Now, I am sharing my insights and advice in a new book called The Real Deal From a Labor and Delivery Nurse On Navigating Your Delivery Room. In this book, I cover everything you need to know about the delivery room, from packing your hospital bag to pushing your baby out. I also share tips on how to cope with pain, how to communicate with your healthcare team, and how to make the most of your birth experience.

I wrote this book because I believe that every woman deserves to have a positive and empowering birth experience. I want to help you to feel informed, confident, and prepared for the birth of your baby. I also want to help you to advocate for yourself and your baby during labor and delivery.

If you are pregnant, or if you are planning to become pregnant, I encourage you to read this book. It will give you the knowledge and confidence you need to have a successful birth experience.

What to expect in the delivery room

The delivery room is a busy and exciting place. There will be a lot of people coming and going, and there will be a lot of equipment. It is important to stay calm and focused during labor and delivery. You need to be able to listen to your healthcare team and follow their instructions. You also need to be able to advocate for yourself and your baby.

Here is a general overview of what to expect in the delivery room:

• You will be admitted to the hospital. When you arrive at the hospital, you will be admitted to the labor and delivery unit. A nurse will take your vital signs and start an IV. You will also be given a gown to wear.
• You will be monitored. During labor, you will be monitored closely by your healthcare team. This may include monitoring your vital signs, your contractions, and your baby's heart rate.
• You will receive pain medication. If you are experiencing pain during labor, you can receive pain medication. There are a variety of different pain medication options available, so you can choose the one that is right for you.
• You will push your baby out. When it is time to push your baby out, you will be guided by your healthcare team. Pushing is a hard and tiring process, but it is also an amazing experience.
