Does anyone know where I can find an English-Spanish translation for phrases about labor and delivery?

Thanks!

That will be very helpful where I work, considering at least half of our pts. are Spanish speaking!

That is a pretty neat site - the only thing I didn't like was the phrase "We need to have the baby here now." The way it's written in Spanish is saying "You need to have the baby here, and right now." That's the literal translation and it comes across sounding a bit....how shall I say it....paternalistic? Kind of dictating to the poor lady when she should have her baby, IMO. May be a little nitpicky but that's what it sounded like to me.

Otherwise, it looks pretty cool. Lots of useful phrases.

There is a whole thread on that topic, and not just about Spanish speakers.
