Birth plan?

Question

I️ know they are not necessary, but what are some things you ladies are putting on yours?  
There are a few things I’d like.
1. Delay cord clamping
2. When time, dad cuts cord.
3. Immediately do mom skin to skin

Answer

I'm not bothering with a birth plan because there are way too many variables in play. My only goal is to have a safe, efficient delivery of two healthy babies. However I get there is gravy... I trust my doc and the nursing staff at my hospital.
That said, my hospital is certified Baby-friendly, so they automatically do things like delayed cord clamping and skin to skin as long as it's feasible.

Answer

i requested a mirror so i could watch as i was pushing. the hospital we go to has a big one on mirrors that adjust so you can see. sounds strange, but when i saw my son’s head i felt so much relief and i knew i was so close to meeting him.
