The Questions That Work Anywhere

Most of what people wish they had said in a birth room comes down to not having had a question ready.

Two questions to learn by heart, four that cover any decision, and a page to write down the one you already know you’ll forget to ask.

They’re ordinary, they’re polite, and they work in any room, with any care team, at any hour. The tone you want is the one you’d use asking a mechanic what a repair involves.

Five pages. Print it, fold it, put it in the bag.
