The Girl Scouts aren't the only ones who need to be prepared. Before the big day, there are several conversations you need to have. Jennifer said, "In the weeks leading up to the birth, chat with the parents-to-be about what their expectations are, the kinds of images they want, and the areas that are off limits. Some parents will want everything from the labor, to the pushing, to the birth itself. Other parents will only want the moments after baby is born and they know everything is fine."
She added that you will want to "ask the parents-to-be to let the doctors and nurses know you will be there and what they expect from you. Having this conversation in advance will help avoid misunderstandings during the birth itself."
