Health care for baby 

Right now, your OB or midwife is monitoring the health of your unborn baby. But as soon as your baby enters into this world, your baby will need his or her own doctor. Start looking into a doctor for your baby several months before your due date.

Also, if you deliver early, somebody you know, and trust will be at the ready to care for your new child.
