Labor can be unpredictable, so flexibility is necessary from "summary" of What to Expect When You're Expecting by Heidi Murkoff,Sharon Mazel

The arrival of labor marks the beginning of an exciting and nerve-wracking journey. However, it is important to remember that labor can be unpredictable. Even the most meticulously planned birth can take unexpected twists and turns. This is why flexibility is key when preparing for labor and childbirth. Being flexible means being open to different possibilities and outcomes. It means being mentally prepared to adapt to changing circumstances. In the midst of labor, plans may need to be adjusted, preferences may need to be reconsidered, and decisions may need to be made on the fly. Flexibility allows expectant parents to roll with the punches and handle whatever comes their way with grace and composure. Flexibility is not about abandoning all preparation and planning. It is about being prepared for the unexpected while remaining focused on the end goal - a safe and healthy delivery. Flexibility is a mindset that can help expectant parents navigate the uncertainties of labor and childbirth with confidence and resilience.
  1. Flexibility is a valuable tool that can help expectant parents feel more empowered and in control during the labor process. By embracing flexibility, parents can approach labor and childbirth with a sense of calm and readiness, knowing that they are equipped to handle whatever comes their way. So, as you prepare for the arrival of your little one, remember the importance of flexibility in the face of the unpredictable nature of labor.
