Host: What questions should a woman in her third trimester ask her doctor?

Dr. John Schmitt: Well again, I think a lot of questions center around the actual delivery itself. They want to know what is going to happen, who can be in there, who is available to take care of the baby? What happens to the baby immediately afterwards? What if they need a C-Section, what's the average hospital stay, those kinds of questions and I think that that's what they are looking for and that's what they really want to know about.
