Do you have a birth plan?

Question

Did you write up a birth plan? How did you know what to write

Answer

I wrote mine out! I'm reading a book called natural hospital birth right now so they had a lot of good ideas in there. I don't think there is any harm in going into your birth prepared and with specific things in mind, doesn't mean I'm going to print off a bunch of copies and shove it up everyone's ass. It's more for myself and my doula so I can remember what I want when I'm in a very vulnerable position. I think it's shitty when medical professionals discourage you from playing an active role in your care. There are many decisions to make during your labour so why not go into it educated and prepared :)

Answer

Birth plan:

Birth baby- stay alive. Raise baby. Have a margarita.

Answer

My husband and I are both in medicine, so we know how things quickly change and don't go as expected. All we want is healthy baby and healthy mom 💞👶🏼

Answer

I had wrote mine out, but then tore it up and threw it away after my ob told me that most of the time, when she has moms come in with written birth plans, you can pretty much be certain that something is gonna happen and it's not gonna go how they want. She said it's better just to make sure to verbalize it with everyone, know what you want, but be open to things needing to possibly change.

Answer

I wrote what I wanted... Baby doesn't leave my room without daddy, I wanted delayed cord clamping for atleast 20 minutes, no epidural, skin to skin, no IV, things like that even though half of them did not work out

Answer

I wrote mine out the first time because it was a hospital birth and I didn't want them making assumptions or pestering me. It was basically a list of interventions I was saying no to... They still pestered me, but I got my way :)

Answer

My plan is simple.
Go to hospital.
Have baby.
Go home.

We shall see how it works out 😂

Answer

With my first I just didn't want an epidural and was very admit with my husband about it, so I got other pain relief through iv.

Answer

I have one written out but I know that it's a possibility not all will get followed. So I named it my wishes for labor and delivery. I had a difficult labor and delivery last time around. So I know things happen.

Answer

My plan is to have a baby!! :) I have no other plan because I honestly have no idea what to expect. I'm a FTM and I know if I try to plan it, I'll just get frustrated and overwhelmed and who needs that on top of delivery! Just praying for a smooth delivery and a happy healthy baby boy! 💙
