Labor is probably the most feared of pregnancy's "unknowns." Here's how to manage it.

You Will Need

* A subscription a parenting magazine

* Internet access

* A local newspaper

* Childbirth classes

* A doctor or midwife

Step 1: Gather the facts

Read about being pregnant and giving birth. Subscribe to a parenting magazine, or read their articles online.

Step 2: Enroll in childbirth classes

Take childbirth classes, which can be found online, through hospitals, or in newspapers.

Step 3: Contact your doctor or midwife

Talk to your doctor or midwife about pain relief options, and don't take anything without their consent.

Many women worry about going into labor in their sleep and waking up giving birth. Don't worry – labor pains will certainly wake you up.

Step 4: Go to the hospital

Go to the hospital or call your doctor immediately if you think you have labor pains. Better safe than sorry.

Fact: There are close to six million pregnancies every year in the United States.
