Birth plans?

Question

Does anyone have a birth plan yet? I’m so confused idk what to do bc everyone has their own opinions and it’s messing with my mind in what I really want :(

Answer

My birth plan is 
Go into labour 
Make to hospital in time
Have baby

Answer

My 6th baby and know things can change in a second 
My plan is whatever is safe for baby and me 
That is what matters 
My last birth I went from 3cm to handing in under 10 mins- a birth plan would have been a joke

Answer

Do your own research, pros and cons of everything, and go from there.

Answer

My birth plan for my first will be the same for this baby. I want it a natural as possible and I wanted to be as unattached as possible. Only intermittent monitoring. No pain meds offered, but given if I asked. Baby was going to be breastfed, and a lactation consultant would be lovely. (Ours came in during doctors rounds.) and baby wasn’t to leave the room without one or both of us.

Answer

I would just go with what feels like the best idea for you, you have lots of time.

Answer

My “birth plan” is to have a vaginal delivery.  I am very confused if I want an epidural or not.  Since this is my first baby and don’t know what to expect I plan to just go with the flow.  If the pain is unbearable I’ll take an epidural.  If I can handle it then I won’t.  From what I understand every birth is different and anything can go wrong unexpectedly so having a plan probably won’t work anyways.

Answer

If it’s your first baby wait until you start birthing classes so you know what’s up. I won’t make a plan as it will most likely go out the window haha.

Answer

I made my plan at 38 weeks with midwife (that’s when they do them in the UK)
My only request was I was open to pain relief LOL
And did I get it.... NO, I was induced and it happened quick so no time!
With this baby? Hopefully go natural and no pain relief again? 
Will it happen?!?! Who knows!
I have no plan 😂 just to have a healthy baby girl 🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀

Answer

I never wrote out a birth plan. Last pregnancy I didn’t want to have meds but I delivered at the hospital and gave in to meds. I also delivered 4 1/2 weeks early🤷🏼‍♀️.
This pregnancy I’m seeing a midwife, no meds and plan is to deliver at the birthing center. If I pop before 38 weeks we are going to the hospital for the delivery. I technically can deliver at birthing center at 37 weeks but I feel more comfortable at 38 and Up. And the only additional thing I’m planning for is a possible early delivery. 
I have thought about water birth and would like to experience it but I’m just going with the flow. My only plan is location and no meds. I’ll have a tub available and if I deliver in it great if not then great also.

Taking a Bradley class is an amazing way to sort through all the opinions. They provide you with alllll the info and you can truly feel informed and confident when you make a decision. I do not recommend winging it, you will be taken advantage of.
