We should start talking about induction.
You have about 90 seconds to decide.
39 pages from an OB of 35+ years, written for the room you'll actually be standing in.
This is what it was made for.
It's 2am and you don't know if this is really labor.
A card on your phone: what real contractions do, what to time, when to go in — and why going too early can cost you.
She hasn't moved the way she usually does, and you don't want to be a bother.
Exactly how to count, exactly when to call. And Dr. Chun's answer to that worry: you will never bother us.
Your water breaks, and now everyone has an opinion about how fast you need to move.
What actually starts the clock, what has to be true to wait, and the signs that mean go now.
Everyone in the room knows the plan except you.
The words they'll use — and the one page your team can read in thirty seconds to know what matters to you.
Your partner is standing there with no idea how to help.
Give him the kit. He'll know what to ask, what to watch, and when to speak up for you.
What you'd say back.
You're 39 weeks, so it's time.
Setting the calendar aside — is there anything in my pregnancy specifically that concerns you?
The baby is measuring big.
What's the estimated weight, what's the margin of error, and does it change the recommendation?
You've been pushing two hours. Let's talk about a cesarean.
Are the baby and I both stable right now? Is she still descending?
Every section of the kit works like this.
