I'd imagine (as a woman who is one week away from her due date) that 'extremely flexible' means operating at the wishes of the expecting parents, especially the mother who might want to have you out of her sight line and potentially to stop filming. Or, they might want as much detail as possible, to direct specifically. I think the message is to remain open and not tied to any outcome as birth can be full of unexpected surprises.

be extremely flexible, and discuss with the parents beforehand what they are comfortable with. make sure you have plenty of extra battery packs, as this could take a lot longer than you expect and it would not be advisable to run electrical cords in the room. if you are filming in a hospital, get all necessary clearance ahead of time. good luck, what an honor.
enjoy today...
