That's why you should talk to your doctor about these 10 medical practices you might want to decline during the delivery of your baby. Just saying NO to this list will help you and your baby get a healthy and happy start.

Waiting for your baby until at least the 39th week can have important health benefits. It will help your baby grow and develop, and could help you avoid postpartum depression.

Induction Without a Medical Reason Induction of labor before you and your baby are ready makes it more likely that you'll have a C-section and can lead to other complications, such as contractions that are more painful than normal.

Continuous Electronic Monitoring Unless your labor was induced, you have been administered epidural anesthesia, or you are trying a vaginal birth after a C-section, ask for your baby to be monitored at certain intervals rather than continuously. Continuous monitoring will limit your movement, may slow your labor, and can lead to a C-section or forceps delivery.

An Early Epidural Epidural anesthesia is injected through a catheter that sends medicine into your back to block pain. But the longer you have it, the more medicine builds up in your body. Too much can make it hard to feel enough to push and can slow labor. If you have an epidural, talk to your doctor about using a lighter dose and not starting it early in your labor.

It may be needed for forceps and vacuum deliveries, or if your baby is coming down too fast. But otherwise, it doesn't help and can lead to a longer healing time.
