So I met with my midwife today and she suggested that I put together a birth plan. She mentioned that even though she knows my wishes and will be there for the birth it would be helpful for the nurses to know my plans as well.
So I’ve started one, so far I have the following headings and then under each heading just a few points outlining what i want…am I missing something ?
So I didn’t take any birthing classes, showed up when it was time to push, went through it like a woman is supposed to! They help out bigtime with pretty much everything after the delivery so really, birthplan or no birthplan, you’ll do great Ramsha!!!
Awe thanks…I was actually talking to my mom and she said “birth plan! yeh kia hota hai, bas push kerna bacha nikal ai ga”. I just think the planner in me is trying to control the uncontrollable.
you have a midwife? i'm envious! mt. sinai has a HUGE waiting list for one, so i'm with my OB now.... your birth plan sounds good! just remember that things might not go exactly according to it, so be flexible and iA all will be well :)
Your birthplan seems about right. I had a similar one to yours. But in all honesty, when time is there you will just go with the flow! It is important to let them what your wishes are in regards to pain relief.
I wrote that I only wanted painrelief medication when I really really couldn't take it anymore (I wanted to see how far I could go without any medication). Let's just say next time iA I am very much more open to medication :D
^ yes I used a template that can be found on the baby centre website....just wanted to make sure nothing was missed
But a template is a template you know - which wont guide you much , I was more or less talking about a software which will take your from A to Z and provide expert guidance as well ..
Oh I had a birth plan. It went well with me and I am glad I had one.I also put that I don't want any male doctors or attendants arpound unless it was an emergency and they respected that.
