Our advices
If you do not feel your baby move, consult your doctor to make sure he is not suffering. If you have regular contractions and it's your first delivery, get ready for about 7 hours of work. Do not go to maternity only when the contractions are more painful, especially if it is close. If you are taking a taxi or an ambulance, remember to ask for an invoice to get you reimbursed by Social Security.
