Know the expected date of labor accurately, and contact your doctor or experienced midwife in advance to determine the delivery plan and prepare for all the details of labor to avoid panic during delivery. Prepare a suitable labor room in the family, which should be in good hygienic condition, ventilated, bright, warm, quiet, and not wet or dry. Prepare a spacious bed with a mattress that is not too soft, and a full set of sterilized sheets, bedding, and other bedding, and have a change of spares.
