Can I see your birth plans?

Question

I never had one wth my first born and I wanted to see some examples from those of you who are delivering soon, if you don't mind sharing.

Answer

Had to mark out water birth because the hospital didn't get approved in time 😞. I plan to use the shower as much as possible though.

Answer

I downloaded the template from The Bump, it covers almost everything you would think of, from pain management to visitors to whose cutting the cord, and what shots/meds to give baby.

Answer

Due January 8th FTM with a little girl having an amazing pregnancy till gestational hypertension now I have testing twice a week NST and the OB once a week dr said she'll be here the last week of December if not sooner due to all the issues, anyways lol I will have my SO, my mom, my sister, his mom, his sister in the delivery room there by my side we plan on no pain meds if we have to have pain meds we will be trying gas and if I still can't handle that then we will do epidural only if it's too bad we want to be able to move around during labor and do skin to skin after birth planning on Breast feeding only we can't wait we're so excited 😃💜💚 what are your plans?? And if we need a c section we will do whatever is best for our daughter

Answer

Due the 25th going to attempt a VBAC will try natural but is my pain become too intense I'll take the epidural. But with the pros and con if in the moment another c section is best I'll have to again. Hope my VBAC is a success.

Answer

Well I'm going for a VBAC but I have group b strep so I have no choice but to have an IV. Outside of antibiotics I don't want any meds until the cotractions get too intense. Then I'll try out the gas. I also want access to the tub and shower which is standard anyway. I want to be able to move as much as I can so I really want to hold off on the epidural as long as possible. I made it to a 7 with my first but a lot of that I labored in bed for. I also don't want the cord cut until it stops pulsing, even if it's a cesarean. I want immediate skin to skin and all procedures that can be done at bedside, done there. There's so many different variables to include!!

Answer

Going for my second all natural VBAC. No episiotomy. No medical interventions unless completely medically necessary. Hydrotherapy for pain relief. Water birth if possible.

Answer

Will be going for my second without Epi. Hopefully will not be induced this time, going to a midwife so my chances are good!  Will probably labor in the tub but not deliver in it.
