Anyone else worried they’ll be viewed as too demanding if they type up a birth plan? Mine will include preferences for a normal labor, and then preferences if I end up having a c-section, as well as a list of family members who may decide to visit after.

I really want to have a positive relationship with my healthcare providers but I also have strong preferences and I worry that voicing them will put people off.

Honestly this is a concern I have about everyone in my life as I’m a pretty opinionated woman, but I worry that I’ll have a stressful time in the hospital if my providers aren’t very happy with me. This is my second baby so I know how vulnerable I get during labor and postpartum
