Who Wrote This
Hi, I'm Dr. Delisa Skeete Henry.
I'm a board-certified OB/GYN who's been practicing in South Florida for nearly 20 years. I wrote this guide because too many women walk into labor without the information they need to advocate for themselves.
Some hospitals in our region have C-section rates above 70%. I'm not anti-cesarean — I'm grateful we have them. But I believe the rate is too high, and I believe you deserve to know what you can do about it.
This guide is the starting point. Nine things I wish every patient knew before delivery day.
Bonus Included
A printable Birth Preferences template.
Not just a checklist — a real template with sections for visitor preferences, comfort options, activity tools, baby preferences, and space for notes. Designed to hand directly to your provider.
