Minimize interruptions
At home, a woman feels
ownership and she has control
over who is present, says
Tortelli. Ask doctors and nurses
to knock before entering,
not to talk during contractions,
and to keep procedures like
fetal monitoring to a minimum.

GET THAT FLU SHOT!
The vaccine is a must for moms-to-be,
according to the American College of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists,
because pregnant women are five times
more likely than other women to
be hospitalized if they get the flu. Your
immunization is important to your baby
too, says Carol Baker, M.D., of The Center
for Vaccine Awareness and Research
at Texas Childrens Hospital in Houston.
The flu can lead to premature labor,
which may result in developmental and
physical delays, she notes. And when
pregnant women get inoculated, they
protect their babies from the flu for the
first several months of life. Thats crucial
coverage because babies cant get the
flu vaccine until theyre 6 months old.
