Q's to ask DR

I know this is all old and we covered this a million and one times so I apologize for the repetition. My personal computer power cord died where I had all my great bump bookmarks and now I don't have access. TIA for your help.

I need questions to ask my OB about delivery and exams up until that point. Every time I go I draw a blank and when she asks me if I have any questions I wish I had wrote them down. This time I'm writing them a week in advance so I don't forget with Thanksgiving this week!!!!

It depends what kind of birth you want... these are some of the questions I have asked, still need to ask:

1. Do you regularly perform episiotomies?

2. Can I have intermittent fetal monitoring rather than continuous?

3. How often before and during labor do you perform internal exams?

4. Can I use alternate positions for pushing (squat, for example, with the squat bar)?

5. For what reasons will you induce?

6. How long will you let me go past my due date before inducing?
