• The full names and contact details of all physicians and medical professionals (including your OB/GYN)
• All medical facilities and hospitals you attended for pre-birth treatment and the delivery of your child
• Details of the medical procedures, including ultrasounds and fundal height measurements, etc. Include details of all procedures performed and offered to you
