OB Emergencies Maternal Complications in Pregnancy

Preparations for Delivery
Make the mother as comfortable as possible, and if you have arrived on the scene and things are in disarray, try to quickly organize a clean area with the supplies you will require within easy reach. 

The mother should undress from the waist down and be provided with a clean sheet or towel to cover up. You should gather clean towels, sheets, or blanket, and may use newspapers if nothing else is available, as childbirth is messy.
