Planning Ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nine months flies by. To make it easier to keep track of it all, we\u2019ve highlighted key information to make sure you are covered. For example, in your first trimester, select an OB-GYN<\/a> or midwife<\/a>. During your second trimester, we encourage you to contact your hospital\u2019s maternity care coordinator<\/a> so that your early questions can be answered and you can prepare for your birth. It is also the perfect time to enroll in childbirth<\/a> and breastfeeding<\/a> classes. And, in your third trimester, if you haven\u2019t had a tour<\/a> yet, you can sign up so you\u2019ll be prepared for the big day! Choosing your doctor<\/a>, making your birthing plans and choosing your child\u2019s provider<\/a> are all important decisions. Let the journey begin!<\/p>\n\n\n
